What if the key to healing from trauma lies not in blaming others but in examining our own roles in the cycle of pain? Our latest episode invites you to join a transformative conversation with our guest, who bravely shares his journey from feeling victimized by life's adversities to recognizing his part in perpetuating trauma. With raw honesty, he recounts the struggles with alcohol that once defined him and reflects on the impactful relationship with his father, challenging the narratives he used to hold about being "not good enough." This powerful narrative urges us to reconsider the dynamics of victim and victimizer, and how our expectations can profoundly affect those around us.

Listen as we explore the courage it takes to shift from a victim mentality to one of personal accountability and healing. Our guest's insights push the boundaries of traditional healing by emphasizing the importance of acknowledging our influence on others’ traumas. This episode promises to leave you pondering the complexities of forgiveness, responsibility, and the mutual healing journey. Through this eye-opening discussion, we aim to inspire listeners to not only embrace their healing path but also consider their potential to heal those they once perceived as oppressors.
