Signs You Have UNHEALED TRAUMA & How To Heal From It Today| Gabby Bernstein

Podcast briefing

Unhealed trauma often drives hidden coping mechanisms, but acknowledging and understanding these patterns is essential for true healing.

Gabby Bernstein and her interviewer discuss the nature of trauma, how both major and minor events can create lasting wounds, and why people often use coping mechanisms—called protectors in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—to avoid confronting unresolved pain. Bernstein shares her personal healing journey, highlighting how facing shame and deep-rooted fears is crucial for growth. Healing, she explains, starts by consciously recognizing these patterns and gradually approaching the underlying wounds with compassion.
