## Resource

In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn explores the deeply connected emotions of rage, overwhelm, and shutdown, revealing how these feelings often stem from unprocessed childhood trauma. When a child's behavior triggers a parent's unresolved wounds, the reaction goes far beyond the present moment. Emily encourages mamas to respond with compassion rather than self-criticism, recognizing both their child's needs and their own inner child. The episode also introduces the Peace Pack, a monthly trauma-informed tool, alongside a free heart-to-heart coaching call to help mothers move from survival mode into intentional, connected motherhood.Book your FREE heart to heart session here: coaching.mamahoodaftertrauma.ca/hearttoheart If you’re ready to go deeper and connect with a community of women who get it, I’d love to invite you into the Rising Room—our safe space for mamas navigating healing, growth, and motherhood after trauma. https://www.patreon.com/c/MamahoodAfterTrauma 💬 And if you’ve got a story, insight, or wisdom to share, I’m always looking for new voices for the podcast!
