Dr. Nadine Macaluso is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort’s character in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” She survived a turbulent eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma. She joins Next Steps Forward to detail her journey of trauma and how healing inspired her to become a psychotherapist and expert in trauma bonds. Pulling from her combined thirty years’ experience, she will provide insight on why women enter and stay in abusive relationships, the psychological makeup of vulnerable women and pathological lovers, how to leave a trauma bond and how to heal and find healthy love. Dr. Macaluso firmly believes in the potential for post-traumatic growth, instilling hope in her patients and guiding them to reach their potential in life and love.
