Trauma Isn’t Just What Happened—It’s What You Learned to Do to Stay Safe

Send us a text

Let’s talk about trauma—because everyone has it, but not everyone knows how it’s shaping their marriage, leadership, and life.

In this episode, I unpack what trauma really is, the difference between big T and little t trauma, and how the patterns you developed to protect yourself are often the same ones keeping you from experiencing intimacy, trust, and freedom today.

We dive into:

• What trauma really means (and how culture is missing it)
• The power of protection patterns: where they came from and what they cost
• How to identify trauma responses masquerading as personality
• Why disconnection, over-functioning, and control might be rooted in pain
• How to invite the Holy Spirit into your healing

Whether you’ve done trauma work before or this is your first time thinking about it this way, this conversation is a gentle but powerful invitation to stop coping and start healing.
