Ep 29 - The Hidden Link Between Mom Rage and Childhood Trauma
Description
What if your mom rage isn’t just about being overstimulated or burned out — but about old trauma being reactivated? In this episode, Danik Bernier, trauma therapist and fellow mom, reframes mom rage through the lens of the nervous system and childhood emotional neglect. She shares her personal story and how EMDR therapy helped her break free from survival patterns passed down through generations.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
· Why mainstream narratives about mom rage miss the deeper trauma connection
· How dissociation and “fight mode” show up during rage episodes
· The role of pre-verbal trauma and the nervous system in motherhood
