A Codependent Mind

S1 - #2 Codependency and Trauma

Often codependence behaviors emerge as a response to trauma. What is trauma? How is it different then other stressful, even violent, events? What is it like to live with unhealed trauma? This is Brian's story. 

Get even more guidance in healing from codependency. The paperback, audiobook and eBook is now available on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYB1K31V 

In this episode:

00:00:55 What is trauma?

00:02:38 Working definition of trauma
00:05:01 Chronic or complex trauma
00:06:10 Family dynamics
00:09:21 The lasting effects of trauma
00:12:24 Codependent behaviors as trauma responses
00:16:03 Trauma and helplessness
00:18:17 Trauma triggers
00:22:55 Interpersonal trauma

* We have learned a lot as we have done this podcast. One thing Brian realized is that he underestimated the impact his parent's behaviors, particularly his father's, had on him. If you want to hear his updated thinking on the topic, you can listen to Season 3, episode 5, Beyond Codependency - Family of Origin
