Trauma Wasn't the Problem — Survival Was

"Trauma is not pathology. It is biology." This episode maps early loss and survival strategies onto neuroscience of trauma, attachment, and addiction. Explores betrayal trauma, dissociation, addiction as regulation, post-traumatic growth, and integration as moving from fragmentation to coherence. Uses the "Green Square/Red Circle" framework and references kintsugi as healing without erasing the past.
