Denial Is Sexy

Unpacking Me: The Parts of Trauma No One Talks About

Sometimes, denial feels easier than truth. In this episode, we unpack how trauma can make denial look “sexy” — convincing us to stay in relationships, roles, and situations that no longer serve us. We explore why the brain leans on denial as protection, how it masks pain with false comfort, and what it costs when we trade authenticity for survival. This is an honest conversation about the ways we dress up denial to avoid loss, conflict, or change — and how we can begin to choose truth over illusion.
