Catherine Roebuck and I talk about how trauma gets stored in the brain and what helps it heal. We recorded this on March 30, 2026.
In this conversation:
Why overwhelming experiences get sealed off instead of connected to the rest of your life, and why young children have so few options besides panicking or shutting down
Building bridges between a hard memory and the adult you are now
Inner child work and inner adult work, and why you need both the tender part and the strong part
Revisiting a memory as a scene, with what you could see, hear, and feel, and the compassion that shows up for your younger self
Why children see their parents as good and themselves as bad, and what changes when you see the scene clearly
Asking "If my partner never changes, will I be okay?"
Talking to a parent as a peer, without deferring to them or trying to overpower them
Why the person who can help you most often when you're triggered is you
