Here are some of things we talked about in today’s podcast:

Attachment styles are subconscious rules we have for love and connection that are formed in childhood.
Our subconscious mind plays a significant role in our beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Core wounds from childhood are stored in the subconscious mind and can impact our relationships.
Reprogramming core wounds can be done through techniques like autosuggestion and meeting our unmet needs.
Coping mechanisms are subconscious strategies to meet our needs or provide relief from negative thoughts and beliefs.
Understanding and addressing core wounds is crucial for developing healthier coping mechanisms.
Setting boundaries around coping mechanisms can be beneficial for emotional well-being.
Practicing vulnerability in small increments through exposure work can help individuals overcome their fear of unpacking uncomfortable emotions and experiences.
Self-compassion is essential on the journey of healing, and taking responsibility for personal growth is key to creating positive change.
And much more.
