It Didn't Look Like Trauma Episode 1: Attachment, Safety, and Trauma Artwork

Let's Sit With This

Let’s Sit With This is hosted by Kristen Callaway, a licensed therapist.

This is a place to talk about hard things in a light, understandable way—more like chatting around a campfire than sitting in a therapist’s office. The conversations here are calm, grounded, and human, with space to slow down and think things through.

We talk about getting through hard moments, healing old hurt, and growing into someone you’re proud of. Some episodes are quiet reflections, some are practical and skill-based, and others are conversations that invite curiosity and perspective. Nothing performative. Nothing overcomplicated.

Pull up a chair, get comfy, and let’s sit with this together.

It Didn't Look Like Trauma Episode 1: Attachment, Safety, and Trauma

July 11, 2025 • Kristen Callaway, LMFT

What if the way you relate to others—clingy, distant, or somewhere in between—started long before you had words to explain it? In the first episode of the It Didn't Look Like Trauma series, Kristen breaks down what attachment is, how it forms in early life, and how those patterns can shape our sense of safety and connection well into adulthood. If you’ve ever felt like your relationships stir up old wounds you can’t quite name, this episode is for you.

This episode was created by Kristen Callaway, LMFT — a licensed therapist and the voice behind Let’s Sit With This.
