In this final episode of the It Didn’t Look Like Trauma series, Kristen speaks directly to you—like a letter from her heart to yours. Together, we reflect on what healing really looks like, why some wounds leave lasting scars, and how to navigate boundaries with parents or caregivers who may never change.
This episode holds space for the messy realities of grief, estrangement, reconciliation, and finding peace in your own path. Kristen reminds you that you’re not broken, you’re not responsible for someone else’s healing, and you deserve relationships built on care and safety.
With compassion and honesty, this episode closes the series with hope: you can stop cycles of hurt, create new traditions, and become who you needed when you were younger.
This episode was created by Kristen Callaway, MSMFT, LMFT — a licensed therapist and the voice behind Let’s Sit With This.
