About this listen

What happens when childhood pain doesn’t stay in childhood? In this episode of Deciphering Growth, Tiffany Graves and Eric Stone explore the long-term effects of childhood trauma and what it really means to reconnect with the inner child.

We dive deep into:

  • How childhood wounds show up in adult behavior and relationships

  • Why logic alone can’t heal the nervous system

  • EMDR vs. IFS: What works, what doesn’t, and how to know what’s right for you

  • The problem with glorifying resilience in traumatized children

  • Why anger gets normalized—but sadness gets shamed

Whether you're a therapist, trauma survivor, or someone just starting your healing journey, this episode holds space for honest conversations, real-world examples, and therapeutic insight with warmth and respect.
