The Cost of Unresolved Trauma: Relapse, Parental Guilt & Chronic Pain w/ Erin Martin
What happens when the wounds you thought you’d healed—or didn’t even know were there—come roaring back? And it can feel like you’re back at square one, even though you’re not.Erin Martin is a podcaster, mom, wife, and reality TV connoisseur. She grew up in a high-control religious group and in a home marked by addiction and dysfunction, carrying wounds she wouldn’t fully understand until much later in life. In this episode, she opens up about how those buried traumas resurfaced years into sobriety—through chronic pain, relapse, and the reckoning that came with motherhood.Key Takeaways:🔑 Unresolved Trauma in the Healing Journey – Why old wounds can resurface years later and feel just as raw as the first time.🔑 The Link Between Trauma and the Body – How unprocessed pain can show up as chronic illness, fatigue, and physical breakdown.🔑 Parenting and Triggered Memories – Why your child reaching a certain age can bring back the unresolved trauma you experienced at that stage.🔑 Beyond the 12 Steps – How deeper healing often requires therapy, psychiatry, and addressing the root cause—not just surface recovery.🔑 Shame vs. Guilt in Motherhood – Why mom shame is more damaging than mom guilt and how it can block true healing.⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱 www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
