When something overwhelming happens, part of us grows up… and part of us gets left behind.

When something overwhelming happens, part of us grows up… and part of us gets left behind. Trauma can freeze certain parts of us in “trauma time” holding the age, the emotion, and the pain of the original wound. Drawing on the work of Janina Fisher and Richard C. Schwartz, I unpack a powerful truth: these parts aren’t broken or pathological, they’re wounded. And wounded parts don’t need shame. They need compassion. They need care. They need to be seen by your highest self. When we learn to turn toward our stuck parts with curiosity instead of dismissal, they soften. They unburden. They heal.
