Why Trauma Isn’t What You Think?

Zak Dakkash
About this episode

We all carry trauma. Yet, most of us remain silent about it — many don’t even fully recognize its presence within us.In this episode, we finally confront the elephant in the room: trauma. But not in the way it’s usually framed — not merely as pain, victimhood, or a label that defines us as “broken.”Katia Yazbeck, relational consultant, offers a powerful shift in perspective: what if, before you were even born, you consciously chose your family? This radical lens transforms the way we relate to our past, our pain, and ultimately, ourselves.This isn’t your typical conversation about trauma. Katia guides us beyond victimhood and fear, opening a path toward empowerment and healing.Most importantly, she reminds us that healing doesn’t begin with blame or waiting for time to heal wounds — it begins the moment you take ownership of your journey and choose how to move forward. That choice is where true transformation begins.
