n this episode, I explore why trauma repeats itself and why so many people find themselves stuck in the same emotional pain, relationship patterns, or nervous system responses again and again. Trauma doesn’t live only in the mind or memory, it lives in the body, the nervous system, and learned survival patterns that once kept you safe.

This episode covers:

- Why trauma keeps repeating despite awareness and insight

- How the body and nervous system store trauma

- Why you can “know better” but still repeat the same pain

- The role of safety, regulation, and familiarity in trauma cycles

- What actually helps interrupt repeating trauma patterns

If you’re interested in trauma healing, nervous system regulation, emotional patterns, attachment wounds, or why you keep attracting the same situations, this video will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
