The Truth About Love & Trauma: Why We Repeat Painful Patterns

Behind The Veil: Anonymous Transformations

In this episode, I sit down with Erika, a woman who has been through the emotional challenges of two divorces and has been single since the age of 30. As a mother of three, Erika reflects on the unhealthy patterns in her relationships, constantly overextending herself and settling for less than she deserves. She shares how relationships often start off strong but break down over time due to issues like poor communication, lack of effort, and dishonesty. Erika traces these struggles back to her childhood, revealing the trauma of growing up without a father and experiencing abuse from her stepfather. A recent revelation that the man Erika believed to be her biological father was actually her stepfather, who abused her mother, and this deepened her understanding of her past wounds.

Despite years of self-development, therapy, and transformational coaching, Erika continues to struggle with feelings of unworthiness and difficulty setting firm boundaries in her relationships. In this episode, we dive into the emotional healing process, where I guide Erika through powerful techniques to uncover the root causes of her emotional wounds and begin to release them.

By the end of this session, Erika shares her personal takeaways from being on the podcast and how she’s moving forward with renewed clarity and self-love. If you've struggled with recurring patterns in your relationships, especially around worthiness and setting boundaries, this episode is for you.
