For many, trauma is not a singular event but a deeply embedded pattern that influences thought, behavior, and identity. How can therapy help untangle those layers and create a sense of safety that may have never existed before?

According to Liz Frost, a licensed therapist specializing in trauma and PTSD, trauma is less about what happens to someone and more about how their internal world is shaped by that experience. She highlights how trauma often hides behind high-functioning lives, quietly altering self-worth, trust, and relationships. The impact is subtle yet pervasive, influencing how people navigate desire, safety, and identity. Liz also explores how trauma-informed therapy requires more than surface-level understanding. It demands cultural competence, lived experience, and deep presence. By helping clients redefine safety, process generational wounds, and reconnect with their internal compass, Liz supports them in reclaiming who they are beyond what happened to them.

In this episode of With Intention, Liz Frost, Owner and Founder of Intentional Spaces Psychotherapy, is interviewed by Chad Franzen of Rise25 Media to talk about what trauma is and how it shows up in our lives. She discusses how to rebuild safety in therapy, why trauma isn’t always visible, and what it takes to heal from religious and generational wounds.

Some wounds run deeper than words. Even after years of therapy, some people still feel stuck, unsure why healing hasn’t fully arrived. Could the key lie beyond the physical — in the subtle, unseen layers of energy and soul?

According to Claire Newcomer, a multidimensional healer who blends intuitive energy work with body-based modalities, true healing happens when we treat the whole being and not just the symptoms. She highlights how trauma and emotional residue can remain lodged in the energetic field even after mental and physical processing. This unaddressed energy can quietly limit one’s capacity for joy, love, and embodiment. Claire explains that by engaging the nervous system, the subconscious, and the soul’s lineage simultaneously, clients can experience profound breakthroughs that ripple through their lives.
