Trauma’s fingerprints are everywhere—on our choices, our relationships, our trust in the world—yet we often fail to see them. In this opening episode of our 7-part series, Dr. Abhimanyou Raathore, founder of the Antifragilient Operating System, guides you through a rare and revealing map of the 14 hidden roots of psychological trauma.

What is trauma, really? It’s not just a single shocking event—it’s an injury, whether physical, sexual, or emotional, severe enough to alter your sense of safety, trust, and reality itself. Dr. Raathore explains how these roots often form in early life, shaping the “protective parts” of our personality—managers, firefighters, and exiles—that work tirelessly to keep us safe.

From attachment failures and childhood neglect to community violence, racism, and sexual abuse, you’ll hear how each root leaves a lasting imprint on the nervous system. Most importantly, you’ll discover why these responses are not signs of weakness—they’re intelligent survival adaptations your body and mind created in moments of deep vulnerability.

By the end of this episode, you won’t just know the roots of trauma—you’ll recognize them in yourself and others, and begin to shift from self-blame to self-understanding. Take a breath, offer yourself some gentleness, and prepare to see your inner landscape more clearly than ever before.

This is just the beginning. Subscribe now to follow the series and explore how trauma shapes your emotional symptoms, protective parts, and path toward healing.
