About this episode

Emily Cleghorn discusses the emotions of rage, overwhelm, and shutdown in parenting, linking them to unprocessed childhood trauma and encouraging compassionate responses from mothers.

In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn explores the deeply connected emotions of rage, overwhelm, and shutdown, revealing how these feelings often stem from unprocessed childhood trauma. When a child's behavior triggers a parent's unresolved wounds, the reaction goes far beyond the present moment. Emily encourages mamas to respond with compassion rather than self-criticism, recognizing both their child's needs and their own inner child. The episode also introduces the Peace Pack, a monthly trauma-informed tool, alongside a free heart-to-heart coaching call to help mothers move from survival mode into intentional, connected motherhood.Book your FREE heart to heart session here: coaching.mamahoodaftertrauma.ca/hearttoheart If you’re ready to go deeper and connect with a community of women who get it, I’d love to invite you into the Rising Room—our safe space for mamas navigating healing, growth, and motherhood after trauma. https://www.patreon.com/c/MamahoodAfterTrauma 💬 And if you’ve got a story, insight, or wisdom to share, I’m always looking for new voices for the podcast!
