Episode 50: How Emotional Wounding Can Show Up In Unexpected Ways

Peggy Oliveira Author

Episode Description:

This episode originally aired on YouTube.

Today I’m sharing an example of the reality that we are all wounded, whether from trauma or… life. And, how these wounds and the struggle around them can show up in a variety of ways and places.

As survivors we often tend to be critical of ourselves for being wounded and for the ways our wounding and beliefs show up. Recognizing that EVERYBODY struggles can help release some of the judgment and shame.

Join me as a share a little story of a recent experience that reminded me of this and took me back to memories of the struggle of learning to trust myself.

I’d love to hear from you. What did you notice coming up as you listened?
