    Ep 19. Dear Sarah | Listener Episode #2

    In this episode of Trauma Is Real, Sarah is answering some listener questions about trauma, worthiness, anxiety, parenting, and building relationships. The conversation highlights that healing is a journey that often requires support and connection with others. Questions answered in this episode: ​"I've been through a lot growing up, and sometimes I feel like I'm too 'damaged' to have a healthy relationship. How do you even begin to believe you're worthy of love when your past keeps trying to convince you otherwise?" ​"Anxiety is something I carry with me constantly — especially at work, where I feel like I have to be 'on' all the time. ​Do you have any tips for managing anxiety when you can’t just step away or shut down?" I'm a parent trying to love my child through their own trauma, but I worry I'm not doing it right. ​How can we show up for kids who are hurting, especially when we're still healing ourselves?" "Trusting people feels impossible sometimes, and I find myself pushing people away before they even get close. ​How can someone with a traumatic past start building real, meaningful relationships again?" ​Have a question you'd like answered on the show?
