Most men don’t think they have trauma—until they realize they’re living it.

In this episode of Magnetic Masculinity, Sandy L. Smith uncovers the hidden emotional wounds that shape the way men feel, react, and relate. This isn’t just about PTSD or extreme events. It’s about the everyday pain no one talks about: emotional shutdown, reactivity, numbness, and shame.

We dive into how unprocessed trauma shows up in men, why they’ve been conditioned to ignore it, and the tools that can begin the healing process.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re overreacting, shutting down, or losing control—and you don’t know why—this episode is for you.

In this episode:

- The truth about trauma in men: it's not what you think

- What emotional flashbacks are and how they sabotage your life

- The four trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn

- Why most men carry the “mother wound” (even if they had a good mom)

- How trauma impacts your relationships, self-worth, and masculinity

- Nervous system regulation, embodiment, and reparenting for healing

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
