176. Why Survivors Go Quiet After Trauma (And What It Really Means)
About this episode
Lesley Cain discusses the phenomenon of survivors going quiet after trauma, exploring its implications and the emotional processes involved.
Hey, Survivor! In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve experienced personally and witnessed during recent court proceedings: survivors going quiet after trauma. We’ll talk about the nervous system, guilt and shame, triggers, and the loss of language that often follows trauma. If you, or someone you know, have ever withdrawn, stopped responding, or felt like you didn’t have the capacity to engage with others—this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and remember: When you or others have gone quiet… respect it, don’t deny it. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here. Become a Vibrant Survivor insider here. Let's connect on IG!
