How Unhealed Trauma Can Affect Goal Achievement

Patience Murray

Have you ever set a goal, only to feel stuck, drained, or deeply afraid to follow through—even when you really want it? In this solo episode, I’m opening up about the silent ways unhealed trauma can block our ability to finish what we start, trust our own greatness, or even dream out loud.

We’ll explore how trauma reshapes the brain, tricks us into procrastination or perfectionism, and keeps us in cycles of burnout. But it’s not just about identifying the blocks—it’s about healing them.

I’ll walk you through how to recognize trauma patterns in your goal-setting process, share actionable healing strategies, and give you real-life examples that might mirror your own journey. If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing everything right but still can’t move forward—this episode is for you.

✨ Get ready to:

  • Understand the brain-trauma-goal connection
  • Learn how survival mode disguises itself as self-sabotage
  • Practice tools to feel safe enough to shine again
  • Rebuild the belief that you can win, even after everything

This one is personal, raw, and full of hope. Because healing isn’t just about getting better—it’s about finally becoming who you were always meant to be.
