Victim 2 Victor: Healing Trauma & Building Real Love
Welcome to Victim 2 Victor - the space where healing from trauma becomes lived, embodied change.
I’m Anu Verma - trauma-informed coach, podcaster, executive producer, author, and survivor of childhood and relational trauma.
Through my work, I support people who are ready to stop repeating painful relationship patterns and start building lives - and love - rooted in safety, self-trust, and confidence.
Inside this podcast and my coaching work, I help you:
• Understand how trauma shapes attraction and relationship dynamics
• Calm your nervous system and rebuild emotional safety
• Break cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, and emotionally unavailable love
• Transform survival patterns into grounded self-leadership
You’ll hear honest conversations, lived stories of healing, and practical tools you can apply in real life - from nervous system regulation and somatic practices to rebuilding self-worth and rewriting your relationship blueprint.
If listening resonates and you’re ready for deeper, personalised support, I work with clients inside my 12-Week Victim 2 Victor Coaching Program, where we heal at the root - not the surface - and create lasting change.

He returned to academia, earning a summa cum laude degree from the University of Massachusetts in Boston, followed by a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University . Tim has since become a prominent figure in the field, contributing to various media outlets and serving as an adjunct professor.
