The Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast

Welcome to The Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast!This is the podcast for anyone still carrying the weight of past wounds and trauma experienced in childhood and adolescence. Childhood trauma leaves deep imprints - shaping our beliefs, relationships, sense of self, and the way our nervous system responds to life today. Many traditional therapy models focus on only one dimension of our experience. Yet for trauma to truly heal, we often need a more holistic approach - one that goes deeper, into the nervous system and the early childhood wounds that shaped how we learned to stay safe and connected.Hosted by Alec Williams, a psychotherapist, researcher, group facilitator, and childhood & relational trauma specialist based in London, each episode focuses on supporting trauma recovery and the healing process, empowering listeners to begin their journey toward better mental health and post-traumatic growth.

  The Journey Back to Yourself | Trauma, Authenticity & Healing (Ep 39)

  Aug 18, 202618 min

  What if healing from childhood trauma isn’t about becoming a new and improved version of yourself, but finding your way back to who you were all along? Childhood trauma can shape the way we think, feel and behave. Over time, protective responses such as people-pleasing, perfectionism or hiding our needs can become so familiar that we may begin to lose touch with parts of our natural selves. In this episode of the Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast , we explore how early trauma can affect our identity, why authentic parts of ourselves can get pushed into the background, and how we can allow those parts to gradually emerge again. We’ll explore ideas from trauma therapy around the True Self, authenticity and attachment, and look at what childhood trauma healing can mean in practice. Because perhaps healing isn’t always about becoming someone different. Sometimes, it’s about creating the conditions to become more fully yourself. _________________________________ Visit my website: www.alecwilliamstherapy.co.uk ✉️ Get in touch: Contact - Alec Williams Therapy

  Jul 21, 202618 min

  In this episode of the Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast , we explore one of the most overlooked forms of childhood trauma : neglect . We'll unpack the research that has transformed our understanding of childhood trauma , including a landmark review that challenged the idea that neglect is somehow "less serious" than other forms of childhood maltreatment.

Whether you're trying to understand the effects of childhood trauma , make sense of your own experiences, or begin your healing journey , this episode offers a compassionate, evidence-based perspective on why what didn't happen in childhood can sometimes be just as significant as what did. In this episode, you'll learn: Why childhood emotional neglect is often so difficult to recognise. What the research tells us about the long-term effects of childhood neglect. How unmet emotional needs can shape your mental health, relationships, attachment style, and self-worth in adulthood.
