The intersection of trauma, mental health, and healing takes center stage in our latest episode featuring David Solomon. His powerful testimony reveals how trauma doesn't simply vanish with time—it remains dormant, waiting for moments of safety and relaxation to resurface with surprising intensity.
David's journey begins with a startling physical manifestation of past trauma: facial paralysis. As he describes it, this unexpected symptom emerged precisely when he reached a place of healing and safety in his life. Medical professionals confirmed what many trauma survivors discover: the body keeps the score. When we finally feel safe enough to relax, our systems may suddenly process what we've been holding at bay for years. As David poignantly explains, "When you finally get to a relaxing place, you destruct emotionally because your body can't process things."
The depths of David's trauma story are harrowing. Having survived human trafficking, David endured the additional torment of identity manipulation. His traffickers forced him to respond to the name "Cody," creating a toxic association that would later be weaponized against him. This seemingly small detail—being called by another name—triggers profound flashbacks to captivity and abuse. His explanation highlights how seemingly innocuous interactions can retraumatize survivors: "Every time someone calls me Cody, I think of being locked in that cage and being raped." This revelation underscores the complex nature of trauma triggers and how carefully we must approach survivors.
Further compounding his trauma, David faced a series of institutional betrayals. After losing his mother under tragic circumstances, he was wrongfully committed to a psychiatric facility, denied proper mourning, and later faced severe legal consequences for a minor incident. Throughout these ordeals, David's faith remained his anchor, though his journey demonstrates that faith alone doesn't erase the physiological impact of trauma. His story illuminates the critical need for trauma-informed approaches across medical, legal, and community systems that currently fail so many survivors.
David's ongoing healing journey carries powerful lessons for anyone walking alongside trauma survivors. Physical symptoms, emotional flooding, and triggered responses aren't signs of weakness or failure to "move on"—they're normal aspects of trauma recovery. His willingness to share these vulnerable experiences creates space for others to acknowledge their own healing journeys. As David powerfully states, "That pain and that suffering can help someone else who has either been trafficked or caught or beaten or bruised in a rough place." His testimony reminds us that healing isn't linear, and reaching a place of safety may be precisely when the hardest emotional work begins.
