Oliver Hudson is clarifying previous comments about "trauma" related to his mother Goldie Hawn on his podcast.
On Sunday's episode of the "Sibling Revelry" podcast that Hudson co-hosts with his sister Kate Hudson, the "Scream Queens" actor said, "There was no trauma coming from my mother, the way she raised me, in any way whatsoever."
Hudson, 47, said that during his initial comments, he was speaking from the perspective of 5-year-old him. "That’s what I was doing. Without her, again, I’d be nothing. … It’s more about sort of my child feelings in that moment, rather than me, how I feel about mom as a parent."
On the March 18 episode, the son of actors Hawn and Bill Hudson, said he was prompted to reflect on his childhood relationship with his parents after completing a course at the Hoffman Institute. The institute centers on the Hoffman Process, a weeklong psychological retreat that aims to help individuals “identify negative behaviors, moods, and ways of thinking that developed unconsciously and were conditioned in childhood,” per the Hoffman Institute’s official website.
Oliver Hudson previously said he had 'trauma' relating to upbringing with Goldie Hawn
Hudson said that he expected his conversations during the retreat to focus on his relationship with estranged father Bill Hudson, but it was the opposite. "My mother was the one that I had almost the most trauma about, interestingly enough, because she was my primary caregiver," he recalled.
"I felt unprotected at times," Hudson said. "She would be working and away, or she had new boyfriends that I didn’t really like. She would be living her life, and she was an amazing mother.
"This was my own perception as a child who didn’t have a dad and who needed her to be there, and she just wasn’t sometimes,” he continued. “And she came (up) far more than even my dad who wasn’t there."
Hawn and Bill Hudson were married from 1976-1982. Hawn went on to have a decadeslong romance with fellow actor Kurt Russell.
Hudson said on Sunday's episode that his words were "completely taken out of context" and "used for clickbait."
"I don’t know who I would be without my mother. I mean, I really, I can’t even fathom it. The love that I have for her and the respect and the reverence that I have for her is beyond anything," he added.
Kate Hudson, who was absent during the taping of the March 18 episode, joked that her brother slipped up because he didn't have any supervision. "You used such clickbait words! I’m like, 'I can’t leave my brother alone for a second!'" the "Glass Onion" star said, adding, "You got in a little bit of heat from mom about your 'trauma' comment because it became a clickbait headline versus a context of what you were saying."

Oliver Hudson says he gained 'compassion' for parents Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson during childhood retreat
Hudson said on the earlier episode that during his time at Hoffman Institute, he grew compassion for both of his parents.
"It’s an incredible week of enlightenment on who your parents were (and) are," he said. "The forgiveness and the compassion that you feel towards them at the end of this process is unbelievable. Because then you realize that they’re only repeating the (stuff) that they went through with their parents."

With regard to his father, Hudson said learning to empathize with Bill Hudson’s turbulent childhood helped him shift his outlook on their father-son dynamic. "His dad left him when he was 5 years old in the middle of the night," he said. "My dad didn't do exactly that, but essentially he bailed.
"When I was with him, it was incredible," Hudson said. "He paid attention to me. We played football. We played basketball. We were on the beach. He taught me how to fish. He was so present, but he just was never there."
