Leading Psychologist on how to Heal your body with your mind, Trauma Responses and Shame

Trauma isn’t just caused by extreme events like war, accidents, or abuse. In this episode, trauma psychologist Caroline Middelsdorf explains trauma as invisible wounds, experiences that overwhelmed the nervous system and were never fully processed. We explore why trauma often goes unrecognized, how the mind can forget while the body remembers, and why many people live in survival mode for years without realizing it. Caroline breaks down common trauma responses, including people-pleasing, hypervigilance, anxiety, emotional exhaustion or burnout and explains why these patterns often surface later in life. A central theme of this conversation is shame. Shame is one of the most overlooked trauma responses and one of the biggest blocks to healing. We discuss how shame develops, why it keeps people stuck, and how healing requires more than awareness alone, it requires nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and integration. This episode also covers: Childhood trauma and emotional neglect Big T vs small t trauma Dissociation and body memory Why trauma symptoms often appear in your late 20s or 30s The stages of healing emotional wounds How to support a partner who has experienced trauma What to look for (and avoid) in a therapist If you’ve ever felt constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or ashamed without knowing why, this conversation will help you understand what may be happening beneath the surface.
