Summary
In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn — trauma survivor and cycle breaker — tackles the relentless self-doubt that haunts mothers healing from trauma. She explores how past emotional invalidation and gaslighting erode self-trust, making everyday parenting decisions feel overwhelming. Emily reassures listeners that healing doesn't require perfection; rebuilding trust happens through small, intentional steps like recognizing triggers, repairing relationships, and reflecting without shame. She shares encouraging signs of growth and introduces The Rising Room, her program supporting trauma-surviving mothers. Her closing message is clear: you don't need to be perfect to be a safe, loving mother.
