S4 E11 - Seeing the Signs: Trauma in Children Explained with Stacy Schaffer
In this episode, Theresa talks with Stacy Shaffer about how trauma shows up in children, and how adults can learn to recognize it early and respond with compassion.
Stacy explains common but often overlooked signs of childhood trauma, why behavior is frequently a form of communication, and how trauma impacts a child’s nervous system, emotions, and relationships. This conversation helps parents and professionals shift from “What’s wrong?” to “What happened?”, creating space for safety, understanding, and healing.
A must-listen for anyone supporting children through big emotions, behavioral challenges, or invisible stress.
