After The Anchor Podcast is a peer-led healing community for people who’ve lived through hard things, faced themselves, and decided to do the work anyway. It’s not about what happened before; it’s about what came after.
What if the habits that helped you survive are now keeping you stuck?
In this episode of After the Anchor, I sit down with Justin Kang for an honest conversation about childhood trauma, complex PTSD (CPTSD), and how the ways we learned to protect ourselves can follow us into adulthood.
We talk about why someone else’s mood can hit so hard, why asking for help can feel more uncomfortable than handling everything alone, and what healing actually looks like when you’re still having hard days. Justin and I are both still figuring it out, and we get into the parts that aren’t always easy to explain to someone who hasn’t been there.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I still like this after all the work I’ve done?” I hope this conversation helps you give yourself a little more grace and a reason to keep going.
