Monica Hinderer joins Doug to discuss the language of trauma
Listener questions and comments:
- Eddie – I experienced childhood trauma because I was constantly afraid of dying during the Cold War. I would share my fears with my mother, but she never addressed my concerns and simply responded, “Okay.” I believe this may have contributed to my drug addiction. (12:00)
- Maria – I am still struggling with trauma, medical issues, and finding a new home. My family has also experienced illness and spiritual challenges. I continue praying the Rosary and asking God for strength as we work through these difficult times. (20:31)
- Sarah- A family member has endured childhood trauma, financial hardship, and the loss of her home. She is raising two children, unemployed, and needs counseling but struggles to trust others. How can I help her? (30:00)
