Alright everyone, strap in and grab your coffee, or maybe your empathy fire extinguisher—the first topic on today’s agenda is, drumroll please... 'What is Trauma?'
But before you get too excited, no, we’re not talking about that time the barista got your order wrong. We are talking about the real fun stuff: good old-fashioned abuse. The kind that didn’t stay put but instead stuck around and morphed into adulthood, like a sequel nobody asked for.
We're diving into the delightful patterns of falling for abusive partners because, hey, we never learned proper boundaries and self-worth. It’s a package deal that includes overthinking everything you say, over-apologizing for just existing, and a nice, spicy layer of Imposter Syndrome that we'll dissect later in this series.
But in this specific session, we’re going to just figure out 'What' the hell it is, so we can finally start talking about the 'How-To' heal part. Welcome to the dumpster fire—I'm your manager.
