When someone you love is overwhelmed by trauma, it’s easy to feel unsure of how to help without making things worse. In this episode, we explore what’s really happening during a trauma response, why fixing or explaining doesn’t work, and how to create emotional safety without losing yourself. Learn how to stay grounded, set compassionate boundaries, and support with calm presence instead of self-sacrifice.
