When Trauma Opens the Door

Hosted by authors June Matthews and Laurel Matthews, this podcast explores the intersection of Complex PTSD, perception, and unexplained experiences.

In 2010, June and her husband Jim moved into a home expecting a fresh start. At the time, both considered themselves skeptics. When unusual events began occurring, June’s first assumption was that someone was hiding in the house. Laurel, however, recognized many of the experiences as paranormal because she had encountered similar unexplained events throughout much of her life.

As the experiences continued, the family began documenting everything they could through photographs, audio recordings, video recordings, and written journals. Many of these events were also witnessed by family members, friends, and visitors to our home, including professionals working there.

June’s first book was inspired by conversations she shared online about experiencing "Reliving" episodes related to Complex PTSD. She was contacted by many people who said they had experienced similar episodes and had never heard anyone describe them so openly. Those conversations inspired her to write honestly about what "A Reliving" feels like, the trauma that created it, and the unexplained experiences that sometimes occurred alongside those intense emotional moments. The books combine those personal accounts with the documented audio and video recordings collected over the years.

Our goal is not to tell you what to believe. We invite you to examine our experiences, our documentation, and our conversations while considering the many questions that remain unanswered. Mrs. Matthews wants to share the newfound hope she discovered in a part of life she never believed was real.

Some episodes discuss childhood sexual abuse, trauma, and other sensitive topics. We will always provide a content warning at the beginning of those episodes so listeners will know in advance.

Above all, we hope this podcast offers understanding, thoughtful discussion, and hope. Whatever your beliefs, you are welcome here. We invite you to listen with an open mind and decide for yourself.
