Do you ever find yourself replaying that one conversation from three weeks ago… again?

You know, the one where you said that “wrong” thing and now your brain won’t let it go?

You’re lying in bed, exhausted but your mind is still running a marathon of “what ifs” and “why did I say thats?”

You obsess over a tiny mistake… and suddenly it feels like your whole character is on trial.

What if I told you… that relentless mental noise isn’t just overthinking.

But it might be trauma - for example from childhood.

In this video, we’re unpacking the hidden link between complex trauma and overthinking — and how to finally break free from the cycle that’s been hijacking your peace for so long.

Do you associate intimate relationships with panic, overwhelm, chronic gut pain or the feeling of being trapped?

Well, then you’re not alone. I had this for years and my biggest wish was to just “feel normal” and relaxed with my partner.

But the good news is, there is a way to make relationships not feeling so painful and anxiety driven anymore.

After a handful of exhausting breakups and through years of therapy I figured out 5 game changing lessons, that completely transformed my relationship life.

Therefore in this video today, I will reveal to you why intimate relationships might overwhelm you in the first place and what exactly you can do to finally feel safer.

Do you know that painful feeling when you have to cross a busy city center and it feels like all eyes are on you?

Or that intense discomfort walking into a room full of people at a party that is already in full swing, like you're exposed, like you don’t belong there?

That’s the quiet torment of social anxiety. And if you’ve felt it, you’re not alone.

But… what if it didn’t have to be this way?

What if you could feel calm, grounded — even confident — in those same situations… without having to fake it?

In today’s episode, I’ll break down the hidden trauma cycle behind social anxiety.

And by the end, I’ll show you two powerful ways to begin breaking free from it — for real.

Have you always thought of yourself as “a shy person”?

Do you prefer quiet spaces? Social events exhaust you? And do you need a lot of alone time to recharge?

What if… that’s not just introversion?

What if something deeper — something fear-driven — is hiding behind your so-called introvert personality?

Today, we’ll uncover five signs that you might not just be introverted…

But you’re actually dealing with social anxiety.

We will clarify common misconceptions about these two and you will also learn, where your social anxiety actually has its roots.

Over the past decade, I ended five long-term relationships.

And each time, I convinced myself I was better off alone.

But what I didn’t realize back then was this:

That my relationships didn’t work wasn’t about my partners.

It wasn’t even really about me.

It was unresolved childhood trauma, quietly hijacking my gut feelings, sabotaging my relationships, and shaping how I showed up in love.

In today’s video, I want to uncover how early emotional wounds act like a hidden puppet master in our relationships…

What’s truly behind your attachment style…

And how you can finally break the cycle of painful patterns and partners that never feel safe.

Ready for some real “aha” moments?

Maybe you're like me — you grew up thinking your childhood was “good.”

There was no big trauma. Not much screaming and fights, no chaos.

Your parents were around. You had everything you needed… on paper.

But what if I told you that a childhood that looked good can still leave deep emotional wounds?

In my case, it wasn’t just the “bad” things that happened — It was the good things that didn’t.

The safety, the attunement, the emotional presence I never knew I was missing sometimes.

If you feel emotionally numb, unworthy, or like you never quite belong —this might be yours too.

In this video, I’ll share how I discovered the hidden impact of emotional neglect, the surprising ways it showed up in my life and ruined my relationships, and the 5 steps I actually needed to go to heal and finally build real, connected relationships.

And let me tell you: It wasn’t just therapy!

Have you ever snapped over something small — especially with someone you love — and then felt terrible about it afterwards? You're not a bad person. But there is a reason for that anger.

In today’s episode, we’re going to uncover the real reason why you keep exploding over the tiniest things — especially in your closest relationships. And here’s the truth: it’s almost never about the other person or what triggered you in the moment.

Sounds confusing? We’ll break down what’s really going on inside you — and what it actually takes to stop these reactions for good.

Not by suppressing your emotions or forcing yourself to 'stay calm'... but by understanding and healing the root cause.⁠

Do you feel like something’s always a little off —

like your emotions hit too hard, or not at all…

and no one sees the battle you're fighting inside?

That might not be anxiety. Or burnout.

It could be Complex PTSD —

the result of prolonged emotional trauma that never had space to heal.

In this video, I’ll walk you through every core CPTSD symptom from the most common to the least known — clearly, quickly, and in real human language. But trust me, the last one is sometimes even missed by professionals!

In the past 10 years, I sabotaged five long-term relationships.

At first I thought it was my intuition - my gut feeling - telling me I hadn’t met the right person yet.

But through therapy, I discovered something deeper:

It wasn’t my partners. It was me.

Specifically, my avoidant attachment style… and a deep, hidden fear of commitment I didn’t even know I had.

In this video, I’m sharing the full story of how I went from running away from intimacy… to finally being able to stay—emotionally, mentally, and physically—in a real, loving relationship.

You’ll learn why closeness can feel terrifying when you’re avoidantly attached, how we self-sabotage without knowing it, and most importantly:

The breakthrough that finally helped me stop fearing love.

I’ve been digging into these topics for years now:

Trauma, specifically Complex PTSD,

Neurodivergence, aka Autism and ADHD

and also Depression, the number one mental health struggle of our sick society.

And here’s what hit me:

Even though these conditions seem totally different…

they all have one surprising thing in common.

There’s a hidden overlap — and most people, including professionals, miss it.

But here’s the twist that is interesting for YOU and me:

That overlap doesn’t just explain why so many of us are misdiagnosed…

…it also reveals a whole new way to actually manage and heal what you’re going through.

And I’ll show you exactly how at the end of this episode, after we dived into each of these three.
