Why do so many high-performing, capable men feel stuck, shut down, or disconnected—and never realize it’s trauma?

In this episode of Magnetic Masculinity, Sandy L. Smith breaks down the invisible trauma men carry—from emotional flashbacks to the hidden impact of childhood wounds. It’s not about war or crisis—it’s about the small, consistent emotional hits most men were never taught to heal.

We explore:

- What trauma really is (and why most men don’t think they have it)

- Emotional flashbacks: the silent trigger behind overreactions, shutdown, and anger

- The “mother wound” and its lasting impact on adult relationships

- Why traditional ideas of masculinity block healing—and what to do instead

- Practical tools for healing trauma through embodiment, reparenting, and nervous system regulation
