Through The Eyes of Trauma

Heal Before You Holiday
EPISODE 13 • SEASON 5 00:49:34

This week on Through the Eyes of Trauma, Dr. Salena is joined by special guest Derrick Smith, “The Thought Engineer” of Man-Talk Mondays, for a powerful conversation on how to Heal Before You Holiday.

Together, they unpack how unresolved trauma, old family dynamics, and emotional triggers can collide during the holiday season, and how to approach it with intention, regulation, and resilience.

You’ll learn trauma-informed strategies to protect your peace, break patterns, set boundaries, and create healthier moments of connection, without losing yourself in the process.

✨ Because healing before you holiday isn’t optional...it’s essential.
