Trauma Responses PT. 1: Triggered and Traumatized
About this episode
This episode explores trauma responses and how they shape our personalities and relationships.
What if the things you've always called your personality... aren't actually your personality? What if being "independent," "bad at asking for help," a perfectionist, a people pleaser, or someone who always overexplains isn't just who you are—but who you had to become? In this episode, we're unpacking trauma responses: where they come from, why your brain keeps repeating the same patterns in relationships, friendships, and dating, and how to stop letting old wounds make decisions for your present life. We'll talk about hyper-independence, self-sabotage, perfectionism, validation seeking, emotional regulation, nervous system triggers, and the one question that can instantly tell you whether you're reacting to what's happening... or what happened years ago. Because healing isn't never getting triggered again. It's realizing who's actually sitting in the driver's seat before you let them take the wheel.
