Have you ever wondered why you can’t remember parts of your childhood — or why you “knew” something deep down long before you were ready to face it?

In this episode of Honest Healing, Katie shares how, at 18, she was told that the man who raised her might not be her biological father — and how her mind buried the truth for decades until an Ancestry test finally confirmed it.

You’ll learn the five scientific reasons your brain hides trauma — and how your body keeps the score until it feels safe enough to remember.
We’ll explore:
🧠 Dissociation & Compartmentalization
⚖️ Cognitive Dissonance
💔 Loyalty & Attachment Protection
🚫 Family Systems & Unspoken Rules
🕊️ Freeze & Fawn Responses

This episode is for anyone who’s ever said,

“My parents were fine — they just weren’t emotional.”
or
“I don’t remember much of my childhood… is that bad?”

You’ll walk away understanding that forgetting isn’t failure — it’s protection.
And healing doesn’t start with remembering; it starts with safety in the body.
