From Corporate Collapse to Heart Surgery, Healing Methods & Purpose with Manu Khullar

About this episode

Healing Trauma with Internal Family Systems (IFS) | Manu Khullar

In this powerful episode of Rewriting the Illness Story, Paula sits down with Manu Khullar, an IFS Level 3 trauma-informed healing practitioner whose life was transformed by personal crisis, profound healing work, a life-threatening open-heart surgery and near death experiences (NDE).

After spending more than 30 years in the corporate technology world, Manu experienced a devastating breakdown that led him on a quest to understand trauma, chronic stress, emotional pain, and the mind-body connection. His search for answers took him through numerous healing modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Body Mirroring Systems, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Biofield Tuning, energy healing, and trauma recovery practices.

Together, Paula and Manu explore how unresolved childhood experiences shape our nervous systems, relationships, self-worth, and physical health. They discuss the connection between trauma and chronic illness, the role of the inner child in healing, and why many people remain stuck in survival mode without realizing it.

Manu also shares the remarkable story of his near-death experience during emergency open-heart surgery and how surrender, trust, and inner healing transformed not only his recovery but his entire perspective on life.

If you've struggled with trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers hope, insight, and practical wisdom for your healing journey.
