No cute names, this is what this episode is all about!
Many bad childhood survivors grapple with deep feelings of humiliation-feelings that exist in us, and are at risk of being aroused as long as we try to silence them. In this episode I introduce a first step exercise to help you reintroduce those parts to your broader self.
Ever feel like you're stupid. Just maybe you are really really smart. In this episode I talk about the forces that can teach us to think of ourselves as stupid, as evidenced by poor academic performance. I'll share with you some things that conspire against us in a bad childhood-and I'll encourage you to think differently about yourself, and your abilities!
Understanding our reactivity can help us to manage relationships better. In this episode, I talk about why we develop reactivity, and how to start identifying when maybe you have reacted, when a response is what was called for! Trigger Warning: sex boundary violation/neglect/chaos
This episode we explore attachment styles, and I share an important fact about how we attach to others. And the news is better than you may expect!
Have you ever felt like your bad childhood wasn't helped by the judgement and negativity of others, especially those in positions of authority? Me too! And, I'll introduce you to "the spy", and tell you how he entered our lives.
