About this listen
In this episode, Josh breaks down the most overused, eye-roll-inducing word in the therapy world — trauma — and explains why people shut down around it.
Instead of treating trauma like a dramatic label, he reframes it as something much simpler: the natural way a wildly sensitive nervous system gets "knocked out of tune" in childhood. We aren't broken — we were Stradivarius violins asked to survive in blizzards.
Josh explores the danger of becoming the opposite — a cinder block who feels nothing — and why ignoring the sensitive parts of ourselves only gives those parts more control.
Real healing begins when we learn to feel again, to tune the instrument instead of pretending it's made of concrete. And if you think you have no wounds? As Uncle Hank says… you're lying, and you're boring.
Tune the violin. Don't piss off Uncle Hank.
