Do you want to heal but feel like you just cannot let people in, not even your therapist, not even the people closest to you?
If you live with CPTSD, this makes perfect sense. Protective walls and fear of vulnerability are natural outcomes of surviving without secure attachment. They keep you safe, but they can also keep you stuck.
In this episode, I share why therapy often feels frustrating when these defenses are active, and why your resistance is not brokenness — it is protection. You will learn how healing begins by cultivating safe vulnerability with yourself first and how that foundation makes relational healing not only possible but inevitable.
In this episode you’ll learn:
✦ Why therapy can stall when CPTSD defenses are strong
✦ How to see resistance as a survival strategy, not a flaw
✦ What safe vulnerability with yourself actually looks like
✦ Foundational practices to begin opening up without fear
Less drama. More genuine security. Finally.
