    Bedtalks Episode 102 🎙️:Breaking the Cycle: How Trauma Echoes in Your Relationships 🔄💔" with Anthony Gonzalez

    Hi Fam- We're back with another episode with Anthony Gonzalez, a Licensed Social Worker and therapist with 20-plus years of working with clients and helping them deal with trauma, PTSD, complex relationship issues, and so much more. In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of relationships affected by childhood trauma and our life experiences. Trauma isn't just an event in the past—it leaves a "trauma footprint" that can shape how we connect with others, often in ways we're not fully aware of. We explore the spectrum of trauma, discussing why certain behaviors make sense as coping mechanisms, even when they create challenges in relationships. From poor communication patterns to emotional reactivity, we uncover how unresolved trauma can interfere with intimacy and trust between partners. We discuss strategies for healing, emphasizing the importance of recognizing patterns, regulating emotions, and fostering open, validating communication. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for couples facing complex issues. We also explore the vital role of support systems in the healing process, offering insights into how friends and family can be more supportive. Join us as we discuss the journey of healing from trauma, the importance of healthy relationship dynamics, and how to reconcile in the present to build a stronger, more connected partnership. We would also love to hear from you! What topics would you like to see us discuss more? What do you feel are the biggest relationship challenges?

    Hi There - Welcome back to another episode of Bedtalks. Please note that while alternative treatments to deal with trauma are discussed on this show, these are the expressed views of our guest. We always recommend meeting with your healthcare provider to determine the optimal treatment for you and your mental health. On this show, we interview someone who had to take a nontraditional journey that wasn't always easy or familiar. Sometimes, the hardest path to take is when you don't know the destination, and the path to get there can feel fuzzy, unclear, and emotionally painful. In our interview with Morgan Englund, a former actor and son of beloved Cloris Leachman, we learn of his journey of rediscovery and connecting to the things that matter the most to him. Morgan discusses his journey as an actor, his desire for emotional connection, navigating Tinseltown, aka Hollywood, and settling into connecting back with himself. Morgan has started a different chapter in his life, and he takes us through what he has learned to heal and start anew. We think you will find this interview eye-opening if you are on a road that feels unclear, you're looking to shift things in your life, or you feel that you have unresolved trauma.
