Back to EpisodesTrauma’s First Wound: When Safety Is Broken Before Birth with Coach Liz
Description
Episode Summary
In this deeply reflective episode, Coach Liz explores how trauma can begin before birth. Long before memory or language forms, the nervous system is already learning whether the world is safe. When a mother experiences fear, stress, or violence during pregnancy, the developing baby absorbs that emotional environment. This early exposure can shape identity, safety, and relationship patterns later in life.
Coach Liz introduces the concept of womb trauma as the first unspoken wound and explains how unresolved early fear can become an invisible bottleneck in adulthood. She shares how the Bottleneck Breakthrough Method helps individuals identify where fear first entered their story so recovery can begin.
Grounded in faith, the episode closes with reassurance from Psalms 139, reminding listeners that even if their beginning was marked by fear, their identity and purpose were never lost.
