Signs of Hidden Trauma: Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself | The Guest House Ocala

When you're struggling with trauma or addiction, it rarely looks like a dramatic breakdown. It often hides in plain sight. It hides in sleep changes, mood swings, burnout, or a quiet sense that you’re not yourself anymore. You may not even have the words for it yet. In this honest and grounding interview, Lauren Millner, VP of Clinical Outreach at The Guest House Ocala, speaks directly to the people who feel stuck, afraid, or invisible in their pain. She gently unpacks how trauma can live in the body long after the event—and how compassion, not control, is often the first real step toward healing. Lauren shares what it’s like to make that first call for help when you’re unsure, ashamed, or scared to be seen. She reminds us that you don’t need a diagnosis, a rock-bottom moment, or even the “right” words to begin. You just need someone who will meet you where you are. “100% of the people who call feel afraid. And 100% are met with compassion.” – Lauren Millner She also reflects on the powerful influence of Judy Crane, The Guest House’s founder and a trailblazer in trauma recovery. Judy’s belief that clinicians must do their own inner work before walking alongside others is more than a philosophy—it’s a lived value that shapes the way the team shows up, every single day. The Guest House Difference So many people come to The Guest House saying, “I’ve tried everything, and nothing has worked.” Lauren explains why healing often finally takes hold here: “It’s the people. It’s the clinical team, yes—but also the kitchen staff, the housekeepers, the medical team. Everyone is invested. Everyone sees you.” At The Guest House, healing begins with safety, connection, and compassion. The intentionally designed campus, the trauma-trained staff, and the commitment to whole-person healing come together to create an experience that doesn’t just treat symptoms, it nurtures humanity. If you or someone you love is struggling… You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. You just need to start.
