38. Recognizing Trauma In Your Own Life (The Signs You Might Be Carrying More Than You Think)

Recognizing Trauma in Your Own Life (The Signs You Might Be Carrying More Than You Think)

Trauma doesn’t just live in the past — it often shows up in our present. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to overworking, isolation, or control, these are more than habits — they’re survival strategies we learned in hard seasons.

In Part 3 of the Trauma Series, we’re holding up the mirror. I’m breaking down how trauma shows up emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and how to begin recognizing the patterns that may still be shaping your life today.

We’ll talk about:

• Common trauma responses that look “normal”
• How the body keeps score when the heart stays guarded
• How early experiences shape adult responses
• The faith connection between stillness and safety
• Why awareness is the first step toward true healing

✨ Friend, you can’t heal what you won’t name — and you can’t name what you won’t see. It’s time to look inward with grace, not guilt.
