Why Motherhood Triggers Past Trauma & What To Do About It with Lilly Risch
Why does motherhood seem to resurface wounds you thought were long buried? In this episode, Emily sits down with trauma therapist Lilly Risch to explore the deep, often surprising ways parenting can trigger unresolved trauma, and how healing is not only possible, but transformational.
Together, they discuss:
- Why becoming a parent often brings up your "stuff"
- The difference between normal parenting stress and trauma-based reactions
- What “mother wounds” really are, and how they show up
- How to identify when your triggers are rooted in past experiences
- Ways to respond more intentionally to your child without shame
- The power of repair, self-awareness, and breaking generational cycles
Whether you’re navigating mom rage, guilt, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, this conversation is a validating reminder that you are not alone, and healing can happen even in the messiness of motherhood.
