EP. 55 - Why We’re Not Changing the World: 4 Trauma Responses Holding You Back
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do so many people want to make a difference but stay stuck, angry, numb, or disconnected? In this episode of The Radical Middle, Tommy Nixon explores the hidden trauma responses that keep us from changing the world: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
Tommy unpacks how collective trauma, political division, church hurt, broken systems, and personal pain can shape the way we respond to today’s world. He also shares how the teachings of Jesus offer a better path forward, one rooted in healing, truth, courage, and purpose.
If you’ve felt exhausted by culture wars, frustrated with religion, or unsure how to create meaningful change, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
Discover how to move beyond reaction and become who you were created to be so you can bring healing to the world.
