Episode 1: Dr. Maritza Bollain y Goytia
EP. 01
In this inaugural episode of threshold | between, Tiffany Raether speaks with Functional Medicine Practitioner, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and Adrenal Fatigue Specialist, Dr. Maritza Bollain y Goytia, about the psychological and physiological impacts of living in chronic survival states. Drawing inspiration from Gloria Anzaldúa’s stages of transformation, the conversation explores how collective fear, migrant trauma, moral injury, and inherited survival patterns become embedded within the nervous system and body. Through personal storytelling and trauma-informed dialogue, the episode examines themes including ancestral memory, burnout, hypervigilance, suppressed voice, relational safety, and the embodied effects of political and cultural instability. Bridging somatic healing, depth psychology, and spiritual activism, the conversation invites listeners to consider how healing inherited patterns of fear and fragmentation can become a pathway toward personal repair, collective resilience, and cultural transformation.
