In this deeply emotional episode, Dr. E... is joined by guest Laura as they open up about the long-term emotional impact of childhood illness and medical trauma. While many children, like Laura’s daughter Cecilia, may appear joyful and resilient—sometimes even leaving hospitals with a smile—the truth runs deeper. Cecilia endured over 2,000 invasive procedures including spinal taps, injections, and countless physical intrusions. And though her parents created a supportive and positive environment, the psychological toll of such experiences cannot be ignored. #MedicalTrauma #ChildhoodPTSDLaura and Dr. E... discuss the importance of recognizing hidden trauma, even in children who "seem fine." They highlight why therapy is essential—not just for those who visibly struggle, but also for those quietly carrying emotional scars. #ChildTherapy #HealingJourneysParents often pour their energy into protecting and comforting their child, but they sometimes forget that the trauma may still live in their bodies. Dr. E... and Laura emphasize the need for caregivers to heal too, so they can be fully present—not just as nurturers but as emotionally whole individuals. If left unprocessed, trauma can silently shape how we feel about ourselves and life itself. #CaregiverHealing #DrEPodcastThis episode is more than a conversation—it's a wake-up call for families, healthcare professionals, and anyone touched by pediatric illness.
