"Am I Making This Up?" & 4 Other Hard Questions About Trauma

Do you ever question whether your childhood experiences “count,” or feel like you’re being dramatic for naming them as trauma? In this episode, Caleb and Verlynda answer the most common and difficult questions people ask when healing from emotional neglect and invisible trauma. They explain why self-doubt, self-blame, and feeling like a fraud are not signs you’re wrong, but signs your nervous system adapted to survive in an environment where emotional needs went unmet. The conversation explores why closeness can feel unsafe, how hyper-independence forms, and why setting boundaries with parents often brings intense guilt. Caleb and Verlynda also address one of the most feared questions of all: “Am I passing this on to my own children?” You’ll learn why awareness, repair, and naming harm are what stop generational patterns, not perfection or silence. If you’ve ever blamed yourself for your pain, struggled with guilt around boundaries, or worried about repeating the past, then this episode is for you. ==   Struggling with relationships, trauma, or addictions?   You don’t have to do it alone.
