Notas do episódio
In today’s episode, we dig into two powerful stories about childhood trauma, emotional shutdown, and what it takes to finally start healing.One caller struggles with anxious attachment, protest behavior, and feeling unheard in relationships. The other shares her experience losing her dad to brain cancer at 13 while her mom was having an affair — and how that shaped her ability to feel anything at all.We talk about why your reactions don’t make you “hard to love,” how the inner child shows up when you feel unsafe, and why therapy doesn’t have to start with talking. I break down EMDR, somatic work, art therapy, and the equine therapy that changed my life.If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or scared to face your own emotions — this one’s for you.If you like this, click subscribe, like and share with a friend.
