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 2: Understanding Invisible Wounds and Attachment Pain

July 24, 2025 • Kristen Callaway, LMFT

Not all trauma is loud. In episode 2 of the It Didn't Look Like Trauma series, Kristen unpacks the kinds of childhood experiences that don’t always look like trauma—but still leave deep marks. From emotional neglect to chronic misattunement, we explore how early wounds shape our nervous system, our attachment styles, and our relationships in adulthood. If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I turned out fine” while still struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or disconnection—this one’s for you.

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