301 - The Truth About Trauma - Why Trauma Sticks & How to Rewire It
Manage episode 470308043 series 2713589
Trauma. It’s a word we throw around a lot, but do we really understand it?
Here’s the truth: Trauma isn’t about the event. It’s not the car crash. Not the violent past. Not the heartbreak. It’s about what happens inside you after. Two people can go through the same hell—one rises, the other breaks. Why? That’s what we’re digging into today.
💥 Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:
• Why PTSD affects some people but not others (and no, it’s not about “toughness”).
• How your past experiences, biology, and nervous system shape trauma responses.
• The brutal truth about why trauma lingers—and how you can finally move past it.
• How EMDR therapy can reprocess painful memories (without reliving them).
• Why your brain alters your memories every time you recall them—and how to use that to heal.
🚨 Listen up. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the past, if something still haunts you, if you can’t shake the weight of what happened—this episode is for you.
You can heal. But you have to face it. You have to take control. And it starts now.
🎧 Hit play and let’s talk about the truth of trauma—because it doesn’t have to own you.
If this episode resonates, share it. Someone out there needs to hear this.
