You Turned Out Fine… But At What Cost? Unpacking Childhood Trauma & Resilience

In this powerful episode of Deciphering Growth, Tiffany Graves and Eric Stone dive deep into what real resilience looks like for those who experienced childhood trauma. We explore the neurobiology of adversity, how toxic stress rewires the brain, the impact of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), and the emotional cost of "turning out fine."

You’ll learn:

• Why resilience is not toughness or emotional suppression

• How trauma affects memory, learning, and emotional regulation

• The healing power of therapy, consistent caregiving, and nervous system rewiring

• The difference between developmental trauma and single-incident trauma

• The role of community, access, and privilege in healing

🎙️ Whether you're a survivor, a therapist, or someone who cares, this episode offers validation, insight, and hope.
