Relational Trauma SOS
You belong here. Relational trauma—especially when rooted in abuse, addiction, adultery, or abandonment—can be devastating, disorienting, and deeply isolating. But you are not alone, and healing is possible. Relational Trauma SOS is a podcast for survivors who have experienced the 4 A’s—another’s abuse, addiction, adultery, and/or abandonment—and who are navigating the impact of another's painful or destructive behavior and systemic harm. Hosted by author, survivor, and nonprofit founder Jeni Brockbank, this podcast shares real stories, honest conversations, hard-earned insights, and hopeful tools. We speak with industry professionals and individuals who are healing. Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or have walked this path for years, this podcast is a place to be validated, strengthened, and reminded of your worth. Topics include betrayal trauma, post-separation abuse, family court dynamics, spiritual trauma, and what it means to truly heal in community. Now produced by H.E.R. Wings Unfold—a nonprofit dedicated to helping women Heal, Empower, and Rise—this podcast also introduces empowering resources like TS-12 Anon, the first-ever trauma-sensitive 12-step program for survivors of 4-A behavior. We believe every woman deserves accessible, compassionate, affordable and dignity-rooted support. Listen, share, and subscribe—and remember: You belong here.
