In this episode of Through the Eyes of Trauma, Dr. Salena Smith explores what it truly means to heal while you lead. Many parents unknowingly repeat the same patterns of pain they grew up with, mistaking control for care or silence for strength. Through a moving story of a mother and daughter caught between old wounds and new ways of love, Dr. Smith reveals how unhealed trauma can shape our parenting and how awareness, grace, and self-regulation can transform it.
