5 Unhealthy Emotional Habits That Keep You Disconnected From Yourself [Ep 19]

Healing Childhood trauma is back after a break! 

In this episode, I’m talking about five emotional habits that might seem harmless—or even polite—but are actually signs you’re disconnected from your emotional needs.

These patterns are common if you grew up in a home where your emotions weren’t welcomed or validated, and they often show up in the way we relate to ourselves and others as adults.

We’ll cover:

• Why constantly invalidating your own experience feels “normal”
  
  
  
• How over-apologising chips away at your sense of self
  
  
  
• The long-term cost of not expressing your emotions
  
  
  
• Why emotional avoidance keeps you stuck in the same cycles
  
  
  
• How guilt around resting is a trauma response, not a productivity issue
  
  
  

AND how this all relates to attachment trauma 

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want to make a big deal out of it” or felt guilty just for taking a break—this one’s for you.

It’s not about shame—it’s about awareness. And small shifts in how you treat your emotions can change everything.

✨ Let’s explore what it looks like to come back to yourself.
