What if understanding yourself isn’t the same as becoming free?
In this episode, I explore what therapy can sometimes miss about developmental and relationship trauma: the protective and survival strategies that can remain in place even when we understand our patterns, manage our anxiety and become better at regulating our emotions.
We look at attachment, childhood trauma, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional distance and the nervous system — and at an important question: Is therapy only helping us feel better, or is it giving us more freedom and choice in how we relate to ourselves and others?
