What’s in Your Basement? How Childhood Trauma Sabotages Adult Relationships

We all live on the "main floor" of our emotional house—handling relationships, responsibilities, and day-to-day life.

In this episode, I unpack how unresolved childhood trauma silently shapes the way we love, react, and connect as adults.

If you've ever wondered why healthy love feels so hard, it's time to take a look downstairs. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
