S1 E 15: When Trauma Comes Home: Understanding PTSD, Loss, and How We Care for Those We Love Part 2 Cailea Davis

In this second conversation with Cailea Davis, The Inner Practice moves deeper into the lived experience of PTSD within a family system. Together, we explore what it means to witness trauma up close, especially through the lens of of someone who lives with a caregiver who is experiencing PTSD.  Building on our previous episode, Cailea reflects on her father’s life as a Chief Paramedic and the subtle, often misunderstood ways PTSD showed up at home. We talk about recognizing trauma without language for it, the impact PTSD has on loved ones, and how understanding reflection on her life allowed her to heal and understand.  Cailea describes her healing journey and through her wisdom and authenticity allows us to understand that healing for loved ones is possible and that loving yourself is key to those struggling to understand.This episode invites listeners to consider how trauma affects entire families, what meaningful support can look like, and why healing happens through connection, patience, and shared humanity.Listener note: This episode includes discussion of PTSD and suicide.
