In this episode…

A traumatic experience doesn’t always end when the danger has passed. For parents and children carrying the emotional weight of difficult births, injuries, or past struggles, how can they break free from that pain and begin healing?

According to Dr. Kim Tran, a neurological chiropractor who works with families, breaking trauma cycles starts with giving yourself grace and addressing healing on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. She shares the story of a mother who nearly lost her life during childbirth and struggled with years of guilt, explaining how prayer, gratitude, and rewriting painful beliefs can help shift the focus from trauma to God’s purpose. By learning to forgive themselves and embrace a new perspective, parents can begin building healthier connections with their children and move forward with renewed hope.

In this episode of the Align & Abide podcast, Dr. Kim Tran talks about breaking trauma cycles and finding grace through faith and whole-person healing. She explores how stress builds before parenthood, the importance of self-forgiveness after traumatic births, and using faith-based affirmations to rewrite painful stories. Dr. Tran also shares how parents can recognize signs of stress in children following accidents or injuries.
