What would you do if you woke up one morning and couldn’t see? In this moving and surprisingly funny episode, Alicja sits down with Luis (aka Luigi), a software engineer who lost his eyesight overnight—after already surviving end-stage kidney failure and a rejected transplant.

From hallucinations of LeBron James to deep reflections on grief, purpose, and adapting to a whole new life, Luis opens up in a way that’s raw, real, and unexpectedly joyful.

We talk about:

• Surviving kidney failure in your 20s

• Going blind overnight and learning to live again

• Mental health, depression, and hallucinations

• Humor, healing, and finding meaning

• Why he’s moving back to the Dominican Republic

• What it really means to “accept” your new self

And yes—there’s a moment involving a hotdog costume you won’t want to miss. 🍔🌭

This episode is a reminder that even in darkness, we can still laugh, still love, and still grow.

What drives someone to sleep with 100 men in one day? In this raw and emotionally charged episode, therapist Alicja Matusiak reacts to Lily Phillips’ viral documentary, unpacking the deeper psychological, emotional, and spiritual layers beneath the surface.

We explore the blurred lines between sexual empowerment and self-abandonment, the role of dissociation and trauma reenactment, and how performance, survival, and healing can all occupy the same space.

This isn’t about judgment — it’s about compassion, complexity, and the parts of ourselves that try to be okay at any cost.

🔍 Topics explored:

• Dissociation during sex

• Trauma reenactment theory

• Validation vs. vulnerability

• Public sexuality and the sacred

• The body’s wisdom in survival

This might be one of the most challenging — and important — conversations we’ve had on the Naked Truth.

🧠 Sensitivity Warning: This episode discusses themes of childhood trauma, sexual trauma, and dissociation.

How do you hold space for someone in crisis… without losing yourself in the process?
In today’s episode, Alicja unpacks one of the most painful emotional crossroads — when someone uses threats, guilt, or secrets to maintain a hold on your life. From suicidal texts to family triangulation, she reflects on the blurred lines between compassion and self-abandonment.

You’ll hear deeply vulnerable moments — including what happened when a friend threatened to take their own life, and why walking away sometimes isn’t cold-hearted... it’s survival.

💔 Themes:
• Emotional blackmail & guilt
• Family dysfunction & roles
• Suicide threats and boundaries
• Childhood trauma & dissociation
• Reclaiming your truth

This is the Naked Truth — no scripts, no filters, just healing through honesty.

What if everything you’ve been calling a mistake was actually part of a greater plan?

In this deeply personal episode, I explore the quiet chaos of healing — when the world tells you to move on, but your soul is begging you to slow down and feel. We talk about trauma-induced fragmentation, subconscious messaging through dreams, and the radical act of unlearning the lies you were raised with.

You’ll hear about:

• Why your nervous system is addicted to “doing”

• What it means to run away from yourself (without knowing it)

• A dream that showed me what I’ve been too afraid to admit

• The hidden power of accepting your inner critic — instead of fighting her

• Why the “wrong” thing might be exactly what your soul needs

This is for anyone sitting in the gray area — not broken, not whole, but becoming.

🎤 Let’s talk about love, shame, magic, and remembering who you are.

In this raw, intimate, and often hilariously honest episode, we dive headfirst into the tangled roots of childhood trauma, sexuality, and identity — all through the lenses of Freud’s Oedipal Complex, ChatGPT-powered introspection, and a six-foot rooster!

We explore:

• Why we repeat toxic relationship patterns

• How trauma fragments memory and self

• The hidden cost of parentification

• Projection, guilt, and the urge to "fix" others

• Using humor and AI to untangle generational pain

This is not just another therapy chat — it’s a deeply personal unraveling of identity, emotional survival strategies, and what it means to truly heal.

Whether you're here for the psychology, the storytelling, or the cock jokes — you’re not alone. Let’s break the cycle together.

What does it feel like to love someone so deeply it cracks you open—while knowing that love might be destroying you? In this visceral episode, we confront the collision of forbidden desire, childhood sexual abuse, and the shattered selves we carry into adulthood.

As a therapist caught in an affair with a married man, I unravel how trauma wires us to crave relationships that hurt—and why walking away feels like death. From dissociative orgasms during abuse to hurling lasagna at a cheating spouse, we expose the messy truth about fragmentation, fear of abandonment, and the masks we wear to survive.

Themes Explored:

• The addictive cycle of love-as-abandonment

• How sexual abuse silences your needs (and breeds people-pleasing)

• “Why do I sabotage good relationships?” – The trauma paradox

• Ethical non-monogamy: Fantasy vs. reality

• Reparenting the child who believed they’d die unloved

⚠️ Content Warnings: Explicit discussions of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), infidelity, dissociation, and self-loathing. Timestamps for sensitive sections provided in chapters.

Ending Note:
“Healing isn’t about fixing your broken parts—it’s about holding them gently until they trust you enough to speak.”

In this unfiltered confession, I’m breaking the therapist’s code of silence. After years of numbing myself to survive, ketamine therapy forced me to confront a lie I’d buried since childhood—one that turned my body into a battleground. This is about generational trauma, the physical cost of people-pleasing, and the messy, terrifying work of resurrecting yourself when you’ve forgotten who you are.

If you’ve ever felt like a ghost in your own life, this is your invitation to come back to life.
