Trina Kennedy joins Giving Voice to Depression to share her experience growing up in a household where emotional needs were often dismissed or misunderstood.

 She reflects on how unacknowledged pain shaped her early struggles with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts—and how therapy, connection, and time allowed her to begin unpacking the emotional weight she carried. 

Through the lens of trauma, Trina explores what it means to complete the “distress loop,” and why being seen, heard, and supported can change the course of a life.

 Hosts Terry McGuire and Carly McCollow offer reflections on parenting, emotional honesty, and the importance of building support systems that make healing possible. 

This conversation sheds light on the space between trauma and recovery—and the many steps it can take to move through it.
