Seeing the World through Trauma's Lens

Send us Fan MailWhen the ground beneath you shakes, trust can crumble into dust. That's the stark reality for many who've walked through the storm of trauma, a journey Tina and Ann understand all too well. Do we keep up our walls, open a window, or build a bridge of trust.  Our intimate stories serve as beacons for those navigating the murky waters of skepticism, where accepting a compliment or a hand extended in kindness becomes an act of bravery. Throughout this raw and revealing episode, we discuss transforming barriers into connection, while never losing sight of the need for safety.As we wade deeper into the conversation, the ghosts of generational trauma emerge, challenging us to sever the chains of the past. We examine how personal healing is not just a solitary endeavor but a communal crusade to prevent the cycle from continuing.   It's a testament to the quiet power of patience and understanding in fostering bonds of trust that can survive the test of time.Psychology Today is referenced.Trauma, Trust, and Time | Psychology Today Quotes:  "Not let someone else's chaos dictate me."
