Love and Trauma the Real Deal by Danielle Sebastian

Episode notes

What if the child in front of you isn’t misbehaving—but simply trying to survive? In this eye-opening episode, trauma educator and founder of Connecting Stories LLC, Maddy Wright, shares how early trauma rewires a child’s brain, body, and belief system—and how those same survival patterns can follow us into adulthood. Drawing from her powerful journey as a foster sibling and certified TBRI practitioner, Maddy breaks down why traditional discipline fails, what real trauma-responsive care looks like, and why early intervention isn’t just helpful—it’s life-changing. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or partner, this conversation will forever change how you see behavior, connection, and healing.
