Episode notes
Deer Crash Triggered Long‑buried Panic
- Blair Linne describes a 2015 car crash with a deer that totaled their car and later triggered panic attacks while driving at night. She links that event to earlier childhood trauma, including losing her infant brother to SIDS at 13, which she only processed decades later.
Unprocessed Violence Became Hidden Triggers
- Preston Perry shares therapy discoveries that childhood murders and violent scenes created lifelong triggers tied to weather and other cues. He explains those unprocessed traumas later manifested as panic when he formed close attachments in marriage and parenthood.
Pair Therapy With Spiritual Discipleship
- Do consider professional therapy alongside discipleship because counselors help uncover layered trauma that spiritual routines alone may miss. Use therapy to give language to long‑buried symptoms so you can process them constructively.
