Talks With B, Episode 5 “Childhood Trauma That Leads To Emotional Baggage”

On this 5th episode of Talks With B, I invited Ursula Khumalo, a close friend of mine, to come join me as we unpacked the cause of emotional baggage we might carry as adults caused by our childhood experiences. From feeling invalidated, to exhausted by the emotions of authority figures, to silent treatment and to current toxic habits, we discussed a lot!

We based our conversation on the following topics:

1. How has how you were raised affected how you deal with your emotions?

2. Silent treatment

3. What’s one toxic trait you have carried with you from how you were taught to deal with your emotions from childhood?

The main thing I wanted to highlight with this episode was just how valid your emotions are and the importance of doing some introspection to understand why you may behave the way you do now as an adult.

You are loved and you’re doing great.
