In this episode of the Room to Bloom Podcast, host Julie Rebboah sits down with mental health professional Pam Yang for a heartfelt and insightful conversation about co-regulation, emotional healing, and the power of healthy relationships. Pam shares her journey into understanding emotions, breaking old patterns, and learning how connection, community, and faith support true healing.

Together, Julie and Pam explore what co-regulation actually is, why it matters, and how it shapes the way we communicate, love, and respond to stress. They unpack the difference between co-regulation and emotional enmeshment, how to recognize when a situation becomes emotionally unsafe, and why many people struggle to navigate their emotions alone—especially when childhood trauma is involved.

Pam explains how God models co-regulation for us, meeting us in our chaos with calm, presence, and unconditional love. She also shares practical steps for increasing emotional awareness, building supportive friendships, and becoming curious about your internal world instead of overwhelmed by it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, shut down, or unsure how to process your feelings in a healthy way, this conversation will give you language, tools, and hope for your healing journey.

• What co-regulation is and why it’s essential for emotional health
• How childhood trauma shapes emotional patterns in adulthood
• Distinguishing co-regulation from enmeshment
• Signs an emotional situation is becoming unsafe
• Why supportive friendships matter more than we think
• The role of faith, community, and God’s presence in emotional healing
• Communication tools that strengthen connection
• How grief, anger, and fear show up in the body
• Practical steps for emotional regulation and self-awareness

• You don’t have to heal alone—connection is a catalyst.
• Emotional safety is foundational for healthy relationships.
• Curiosity about your emotions leads to growth and clarity.
• God models calm presence, providing an anchor during chaos.
• Supportive relationships help repair old emotional patterns.

💛 Welcome to the Room to Bloom Podcast, a space dedicated to compassionate conversations about trauma, healing through faith, and tools that support the nervous system.

In this episode, host Julie Rebboah sits down with Rachel Powell of Hope Speaker (https://www.hopespeaker.com), a survivor of childhood trauma, a widow, an advocate for suicide prevention, and a passionate voice for widowed parents seeking hope and stability for their children. Rachel shares her powerful story of navigating grief, rebuilding life after loss, and embracing whole-self healing through both biblical wisdom and practical support.

Together we explore the effects of trauma, how the body keeps score, and why somatic therapies such as breathwork, mindfulness, and other body-based practices (ones aligned with the Christian worldview) can play a crucial role in emotional healing. Rachel explains how understanding her own nervous system responses helped her shift from fear to peace, and why the Christian community must speak more openly about mental health, therapy, and the importance of safe relationships.

We also discuss misconceptions in the church surrounding these healing tools, emphasizing that science and faith are not opposites — they complement one another beautifully when we consider how God designed the whole person. Rachel offers heartfelt insight into supporting children through trauma, creating safety at home, and recognizing when a therapy-based approach can help a child heal with resilience and compassion.
