Untangling Childhood Trauma: Lindsay G's Path to Healing

Trauma responses occur because your body and brain have not been told and assured that they are out of danger.
Have you ever wondered why certain childhood experiences stick with you, shaping your adult life in ways you might not even realize? In this episode of 'High Time for Change', Lindsay G. tackles the thorny issue of childhood trauma, offering a deep dive into what it is, how it happens, and why it lingers.
Lindsay, drawing from her own journey and studies in Addiction Medicine, breaks down the various types of trauma responses and their impacts on our lives, particularly on attachment and relationships. You'll hear about the often-overlooked connections between trauma and conditions like postpartum depression and intrusive thoughts. Lindsay also sheds light on how trauma can sometimes lead to crime or manifest as parental alienation, and how emotional suppression can create a void that feels impossible to fill.
But it's not all grim; she emphasizes the importance of having a support system and how habituation can help in overcoming these deeply ingrained responses. One of the standout moments is when Lindsay explains, 'Trauma responses occur because your body and brain have not been told and assured that they are out of danger'. This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action for anyone who has experienced trauma or knows someone who has.
It's about understanding that healing is possible and that there are practical steps you can take to begin this journey. Whether you're dealing with trauma yourself or supporting someone who is, Lindsay's insights offer a beacon of hope and a roadmap to recovery.
