Episode 79: Building Trust and Connection for Healing Childhood Trauma




Episode Description:

This episode originally aired on YouTube.  

There are so many things you’ve likely wondered about. Things about your experience, your struggle, how or why this or that happens, and maybe even about your therapist.

Curiosity isn't just for knowledge—it can be a powerful tool for emotional recovery and building deeper connections.

But, asking questions to help uncover all those things requires vulnerability. And, vulnerability isn’t typically something we’re eager to experience.

In this episode, I explore the power of curiosity and how asking what’s been on your mind can deepen connections, and aid in trauma healing. We’ll dive into the impact of shame, the importance of openness, and why embracing your curiosity can lead to breakthroughs for your healing journey.

Share your thoughts in the comments and let’s start a conversation on how vulnerability in asking or sharing has played a role in your own healing.

Episode Notes:-

  • Importance of Asking Questions: Asking questions is crucial for building connections and healing, as it fosters vulnerability and helps make sense of traumatic experiences.


  • Making Sense of Trauma: Making sense of trauma helps reduce shame and responsibility that survivors often feel. Understanding these experiences leads to healing and a sense of control.


  • Breaking False Beliefs: Many people carry false beliefs about themselves, formed through trauma. Asking questions helps challenge these beliefs, reducing shame and fostering deeper connections in personal and therapeutic relationships.


  • Building Deeper Connections Through Vulnerability: Asking questions, even non-personal ones, deepens relationships. Vulnerability is essential for forming strong connections, particularly in therapeutic settings.
