Episode notes
Allow Hidden Pain To Surface
- Do notice if you always play cheerful or avoid vulnerability; that may hide dismissed childhood emotions.
- Practice allowing and naming harder feelings instead of defaulting to constant positivity.
Yes Masks Neglected Needs
- Saying yes compulsively often comes from childhood neglect where pleasing was the path to being seen.
- Codependent patterns form when self-worth ties to being "good" or selfless for others.
Outsourced Guidance Replaces Self-Trust
- Hero worshipers outsource inner knowing because they learned not to trust themselves as children.
- Reliance on external gurus or caretakers perpetuates avoidance of personal decision-making.
