Welcome to The Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast!
This is the podcast for anyone still carrying the weight of past wounds and trauma experienced in childhood and adolescence.
Childhood trauma leaves deep imprints - shaping our beliefs, relationships, sense of self, and the way our nervous system responds to life today.
Many traditional therapy models focus on only one dimension of our experience. Yet for trauma to truly heal, we often need a more holistic approach - one that goes deeper, into the nervous system and the early childhood wounds that shaped how we learned to stay safe and connected.
Hosted by Alec Williams, a psychotherapist, researcher, group facilitator, and childhood & relational trauma specialist based in London, each episode focuses on supporting trauma recovery and the healing process, empowering listeners to begin their journey toward better mental health and post-traumatic growth.
The Unfair Truth About Healing From Childhood Trauma (Ep 47)
In this episode of the Healing Childhood Trauma Podcast, we explore one of the most painful and often overlooked parts of healing childhood trauma: the sense of injustice that can come from having to heal from experiences you never chose or caused.
Why is it that, years later, you're the one left picking up the pieces? Why does the responsibility for healing fall on you when you weren't responsible for what happened?
We look at how childhood trauma in adulthood can leave people struggling with anger, resentment, frustration and a deep sense of unfairness and why these feelings can be an important part of the healing process.
If you're working to recover from childhood trauma, struggling with unresolved childhood wounds, or wondering how to heal trauma that wasn't your fault, this episode might be for you.

3 Steps to Heal Your Core Childhood Wounds | Trauma & Healing (Ep 46)
In this episode of the Healing Childhood Trauma podcast, we explore three practical steps that can help you begin healing the deeper wounds you may still carry from early childhood trauma.
We’ll look at how painful early experiences can leave behind feelings of rejection, abandonment, not being good enough or being unlovable - and how these wounds can continue to show up in adult life through anxiety, anger, perfectionism, people-pleasing, shutting down and relationship difficulties.
You’ll learn how to begin meeting the wounded parts of yourself rather than avoiding them, process some of the emotions and experiences they may still be carrying, and start giving yourself some of what you didn’t receive at the time.
Because while you can’t go back and change your childhood, you can begin creating the safety, care, connection and understanding those parts of you may still need today.

How to Break Free from the Inner Critic Your Childhood Created (Ep 45)
In this episode of the Healing Childhood Trauma podcast, we’re exploring how to break free from the inner critic childhood trauma may have created - that voice telling you you’re not good enough, you’ve messed up, or that everyone else is doing better than you.
For many people, a harsh inner critic has its roots in childhood. Criticism, rejection, shame, emotional neglect or other difficult experiences can shape the way we learn to speak to ourselves - and sometimes, that critical voice may even have developed as an attempt to protect us.
You'll be walked through three practical steps to help you understand where your inner critic came from, notice it without automatically believing what it says, and begin developing a different relationship with this part of yourself.
Because healing isn’t necessarily about getting rid of your inner critic completely. It’s about turning down the volume, loosening its grip, and helping it move out of the driver’s seat - so you can live with greater confidence, self-worth and freedom.
