Childhood Trauma

not always the obvious!

We often think of the major catastrophic things that can occur in our teen's lives but divorce, loss of a relationship, bullying, death of a loved one are all real traumas !


Childhood trauma is more common than many parents realize—and its effects can show up in ways we don’t always expect. In this important conversation, psychotherapist and author Beth Tyson joins us to help parents understand what trauma really is, how it impacts a child’s developing brain and behavior, and most importantly, what adults can do to help children heal. Beth explains the difference between everyday stress and traumatic experiences, the signs parents may miss, and how trauma can surface later as anxiety, anger, withdrawal, or risky behavior. She also offers practical, trauma-informed strategies parents can use to build safety, connection, and resilience at home. This episode is compassionate, hopeful, and grounded in research—reminding parents that healing is possible and that supportive relationships make all the difference. If you care about protecting children and helping them thrive, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
