How childhood trauma silently shapes your life — and how to heal it

In this raw, unedited conversation, Stephen Young shares what it was like growing up around conflict, carrying emotional wounds in silence, and learning how to survive without ever being shown how to heal.

We explore how childhood trauma doesn’t disappear with time — it quietly shapes your identity, emotional reactions, self-worth, and relationships, often running your life beneath the surface without your awareness.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns, struggles with emotional triggers they can’t explain, or senses that unresolved childhood experiences are still influencing their present.

In this episode, we explore:

• How childhood trauma silently shapes adult behaviour

• Why unresolved emotional wounds repeat in relationships

• How to recognise triggers and unconscious emotional patterns

• Practical tools for healing the inner child

• Transforming pain into clarity, strength, and emotional freedom

• Breaking generational cycles and building healthier relationships

If you’re ready to face your past honestly and reclaim emotional stability, self-trust, and inner freedom, this episode is for you.

About the Podcast

This is a raw, unedited podcast exploring healing, self-awareness, emotional health, trauma recovery, consciousness, and personal growth. Conversations are unscripted and led by the moment, focusing on what it actually takes to live authentically in the modern world.

Hosted by Oliver — who healed Tourette’s, ADHD, and OCD at 21 through lifestyle changes, meditation, and nervous system regulation — the podcast explores real-world healing beyond theory, labels, or surface-level spirituality.

Each episode dives into topics such as childhood trauma, emotional triggers, inner child healing, mindfulness, mental health, identity, nervous system healing, breaking generational patterns, and building emotional resilience through honest conversations, lived experience, and practical insight.

This podcast is for anyone seeking clarity, emotional freedom, and deeper self-understanding — without bypassing reality or pretending healing is simple.

I’m Oliver — I healed Tourette’s, ADHD & OCD through lifestyle changes and meditation at 21. This podcast is raw, unedited, and real. I speak whatever comes to my mind in the moment, and we follow the conversation from there.

In this episode, Markus Westhuizen and I talk about how travel and new environments force the mind to change. We dive into how movement expands consciousness, shifts identity, and triggers inner growth — especially for people who think differently or feel out of place in the world.

We cover:

• Why travel forces you to confront overthinking
• How presence matters more than location
• Why identity shifts when you move to a new culture
• How globalization is changing human consciousness
• How travel can trigger spiritual awakening and self-observation

If you feel different, misunderstood, or “too awake,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, visionary artist Simon Haiduk and I explore what happens when pure intuition meets real life. We discuss the balance between living in flow and creating practical systems so life doesn’t collapse.

We cover:

• Why intuition alone isn’t enough when deadlines, travel, and responsibility exist
• How Simon backpacked the world in 2000–2001 with zero plans and only intuition
• Underground cities and Damanhur: Italy’s secret temple civilization
• Ancient buried structures found beneath modern cities
• Living with the Huichol peyote tribe and seasonal, intuitive living
• Graham Hancock’s latest discoveries that are rewriting history

If you love visionary art, sacred geometry, ancient mysteries, or learning how to balance spiritual flow with real life, this episode is for you.
