“How do I build trust with a kid who has gone through trauma?” “What can I do to help my child open up to me?” “Why does it feel like my child isn’t healing from trauma?” — Two weeks ago, we heard Eddie Acosta’s story going from an abused foster kid to an advocate for breaking the cycle of trauma in families. Today, we hear the rest of Benoit Harpey and Amina Elsamahy’s interview with Eddie, in which he gives us practical advice to break the cycle of trauma. He shares tips for building a safe emotional environment, modeling accountability, and encouraging kids who feel hopeless; shares the importance of vulnerability and investing in children; and explains why patience, consistency, and openness is crucial to avoiding shutdown. It is possible to break the cycle of trauma in your life and in your family, like Eddie did, but it takes dedication, vulnerability, and care. Hit play on this episode and take the first step to erasing the trauma in your family. You’ll hear real stories, practical advice, applicable tips, and strategies that work.
