What if the reason you feel stuck today lives in your childhood?
In this powerful episode of Candid Minds with Dr. T and Friends, Dr. Tamir Alad sits down with Nick Brax and Jackie Gilday to explore how early life experiences — even the ones you don’t consider “trauma” — can shape your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships well into adulthood.
From personal stories to clinical insight, the trio breaks down:
Why siblings can grow up in the same house and have totally different emotional realities
How defense mechanisms formed in childhood can quietly control adult life
Why the word “trauma” doesn’t need to define your healing
Simple tools like journaling and art that unlock emotional awareness
The ripple effect of healing: for yourself, your kids, and future generations
This is an episode for anyone curious about where their patterns started — and how to break free from them.
