It’s Not You, It’s Your Trauma - Trauma, PTSD, Abuse, Anxiety & Recovery - Joe Ryan

It’s Not You, It’s Your Trauma - Trauma, PTSD, Abuse, Anxiety & Recovery - Joe Ryan

Most of us didn't heal what happened to us as kids. We adapted. And we've been paying for it ever since — in our relationships, our anxiety, the way we shut down or blow up or disappear. That's what this podcast is about. No jargon. No experts. No fluff. Just honest, unfiltered conversation about what trauma actually does to a person — and what it really takes to get through it.
