Trauma isn’t always what we think.
It doesn’t just come from war zones, accidents, or abuse.

Sometimes, trauma comes quietly—from emotional neglect, disconnection, or growing up without the support you needed.

In this healing deep-dive, we'll gently unpack:
✔️ What trauma really is (it's not the event-it's the body's response)
✔️ The difference between Big "T" and little "t" trauma
✔️ How emotional neglect and ongoing stress impact your nervous system
✔️ Common trauma responses like fawn, freeze, hyper-independence, and minimization
✔️ 5 Grounding Truths to help healing

We're pulling insight from trusted trauma experts like Dr. Gabor Maté, Pete Walker, Glennon Doyle, Melody Beattie, and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk-along with real-world experiences that will help you feel seen, not pathologized.

Because if you've been asking "What's wrong with me?" for years…
It might be time to ask: "What happened to me?"
