#267 - The Truth About Trauma No One Wants to Say

We live in a world that is obsessed with asking, “Why am I like this?” and “Why are they like this?” Trauma, childhood wounds, addiction, nervous systems, attachment. All important pieces of the puzzle. But at some point, just understanding the why stops moving your life forward. It can quietly turn into a hall pass for staying stuck.
In this episode, Matt and Paige talk about the missing piece in so many trauma and addiction conversations. The how. How do you start responding differently when your nervous system is wired for survival. How do you stop pouring your pain onto your kids and partner. How do you move from “this is why I am the way I am” to “this is what I am going to do about it.”
Together they explore:
• Why insight and validation alone do not rebuild a marriage or keep you sober
• How too much compassion without boundaries can keep both spouses and addicts in victim mode
• Practical ways to create a pause between reaction and response, especially with kids
• What it really looks like to break generational patterns, even when it feels unfair and impossible
• Why you do not have to fully understand your trauma before you start healing it
If you are tired of overanalyzing, tired of feeling broken, and ready to actually do something different, this conversation will challenge you and remind you that you are not powerless.
