In this “Best Of” series, we revisit the impactful episode "There Is Nothing Wrong With You," originally part of a “Chasing Normal” series. 

Many of us have struggled with the belief that we are inherently flawed or broken, especially those of us on a trauma-healing journey. 

This episode sheds light on how the belief that something is wrong with you is not a truth but a trauma response—a coping mechanism developed to maintain a sense of control and safety in challenging environments. 

This episode provides insights on identifying, understanding, and ultimately letting go of this false belief so listeners can return to their authentic selves. 

This episode also offers journaling prompts, practical exercises, and reframes to help you step out of shame, step into self-acceptance, and experience genuine healing and growth.

Key Topics Covered:

• Understanding that “something is wrong with you” is a trauma-born false belief
• How this limiting belief undermines self-esteem, confidence, and relationships
• The connection between trauma, coping mechanisms, and negative self-perception
• Journaling exercises to uncover the roots of self-doubt and fear
• Strategies to feel safe without relying on self-blame
• Replacing limiting beliefs with affirmations of safety and self-worth
