    Their Trauma is Your Trauma

    Unresolved trauma does not stay contained. It seeps into relationships, workplaces, and daily interactions, shaping how people react, connect, and cope. In this episode, we talk about how old wounds show up in adulthood—sometimes disguised as joy, sometimes as anger—and why avoiding them only delays the healing process. We explore the concept of covering—hiding parts of yourself to fit into an environment—and how it can add to the weight of unresolved pain. Whether the trauma stems from childhood or adulthood, the ripple effect touches everyone connected to the person carrying it. If you have ever felt the impact of someone else’s pain—or wondered how to support someone without taking on their emotional burden—this conversation is for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How childhood behaviors resurface in adulthood when trauma is unresolvedThe difference between the pain of avoidance and the pain of healingHow another person’s trauma can influence your life, even if it’s not your ownWhat “covering” looks like in work and personal lifeHow to offer support without forcing someone to share their entire storyQuote from the Episode: “If you are with somebody who is going through something, or you suspect they are, start with ‘How can I support you?’ It’s not always about getting the whole story. Sometimes, it’s about showing up.”Resources and Links: Follow The WERKin’ Mommas™️Podcast on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyShare this episode with someone who might need to hear itFind your village at The WERKin' Mommas™️online, including our Mom Concierge services and merch
