The simple phrase—“put away childish things”—can feel like a mountain when your emotional growth froze at a moment when life overwhelmed you. We explore how trauma, both the big events that shatter safety and the quiet absences of affirmation or validation, shapes our thinking, our nervous systems, and our relationships long after the moment has passed. I share how childish patterns like people-pleasing, always being alert to others, and self-blame often began as smart survival strategies, and why real change requires more than “think different.”
Together we map the difference between Big T trauma and little t trauma and why comparing pain keeps us stuck. We talk about the lies we often agree to in hard moments—beliefs about God, ourselves, and others that promise quick safety but cost us freedom—and how to unwind them with honesty, compassion, and, for those with a faith lens, prayer and repentance. I walk through a layered approach to healing: addressing the body’s stored survival energy, reframing unhelpful mental rules, and letting trustworthy relationships provide the missing nutrients of affirmation, validation, and care.
If you’ve ever wondered why “no” feels dangerous, why you over-function in relationships, or why old stories still run the show, this conversation offers hope. For next steps, I share community resources and a creative practice that helps surface lies, receive truth, and translate belief into daily behavior. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and tell us: which old rule are you ready to rewrite?
