In this episode of The Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast, we explore five subtle but powerful signs that unresolved childhood trauma may still be affecting your emotional wellbeing, relationships, and sense of self today.

You’ll learn how early experiences influence adult self-worth, emotional reactions, and recurring life patterns - often in ways that are easy to miss.

By the end of this episode, you’ll:

• Understand how childhood trauma can show up in adult life and relationships
• Recognise 5 key signs of unresolved or unhealed childhood trauma
• Learn why focusing only on present-day symptoms doesn’t always create lasting change
• Gain a simple, practical healing reflection to start breaking old patterns

In this episode, we explore why slow and steady pacing in psychotherapy often leads to deeper, safer, and more lasting healing, and how moving too quickly can sometimes make things harder rather than easier.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to:

• Understand why going faster in trauma work can sometimes slow progress or increase symptoms
• Recognise how the nervous system responds to overwhelm and why pacing matters
• Learn what titration is and how working in small, manageable doses supports healing
• Identify signs that your current pace is helping - or quietly getting in the way
• Develop a more compassionate, realistic sense of how to find a pace that prioritises safety and regulation

Whether you’re in therapy, considering it, or doing your own inner work, this episode offers a grounded framework for understanding how fast is actually helpful in trauma healing.

In this episode, we explore how childhood trauma affects adult relationships, and why the patterns you struggle with in intimacy, friendship, and connection often didn’t start in the present.

From attachment styles and nervous system responses to people-pleasing, avoidance, and fear of abandonment, we unpack how early relational wounds quietly shape the way you love, attach, and respond to others today.
