If you live with PTSD, you may know how a song, a sound, or a familiar voice can instantly pull you back into memories your body never forgot. This episode is for anyone who has experienced that sudden shift, when the present disappears and the past takes over.

In this episode of Hang In There, you are invited into a conversation about triggers, the nervous system, and what it means to stop running from what once felt unbearable. Through an honest discussion of exposure therapy, this episode explores how healing can happen slowly, intentionally, and on your own terms.

This is not about a band or a public figure. It is about how trauma attaches itself to sensory experiences, and how those connections can be gently untangled over time. It is about reclaiming choice, identity, and the right to engage with the world without fear leading the way.

Listener discretion advised. This episode includes discussion of PTSD, trauma responses, and exposure therapy. Please listen in a way that feels safest for you.
