✭✭ 5.33 Progress Halted: Your Trauma-Self
This episode explores the concept of the “trauma self” and its impact on recovery. We delve into how traumatic experiences can create rigid neural patterns that resist change, leading to fixed mindsets and avoidant behaviors. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing these patterns in ourselves and others, particularly in relationships. By understanding the trauma self, we can begin to challenge our resistance to growth and develop more flexible, adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. While the journey is challenging, awareness and consistent effort can help us move beyond the limitations of our trauma-based neural networks.
✭✭ 5.31 Full Extended Version | Fawning, Enmeshment, Relational Triggers (What is CPTSD, Alex)
This episode delves into the complex world of fawning, enmeshment, and relational trauma. We explore how early childhood experiences shape our tendency to prioritize others’ needs over our own, leading to codependent relationships and a loss of personal identity. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing fawning behaviors, setting healthy boundaries, and developing autonomy in relationships. By understanding these patterns, individuals can begin to break free from people-pleasing tendencies and cultivate more balanced, fulfilling relationships. The journey towards recovery involves challenging deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors, but it’s a crucial step in reclaiming one’s sense of self and improving overall mental health.
