Show Notes
In this episode, we’re breaking down a common misconception about trauma - that it only “counts” if it’s something dramatic or extreme.
By the end of this episode you'll:
- Know the difference between Big T and little t trauma
- Understand how the more subtle, everyday experiences - like emotional neglect or inconsistency - can quietly shape the way we see ourselves and relate to others.
- Understand how unmet emotional needs in childhood can lead to long-term patterns of disconnection, self-doubt, and difficulty in relationships.
And finally, we’ll end with a gentle, practical healing step that you can be integrating into your own life.
If you’ve ever felt like your pain wasn’t valid because “others had it worse,” this episode is for you.
