Today I chat with Siti about the complexities of childhood trauma. She shares personal experiences and reflections on how various forms of childhood trauma, including emotional neglect, criticism, and lack of acceptance, have impacted her life into adulthood. We delve into the nuanced ways trauma manifests in behaviours, relationships, and self-perception, discussing the fear of rejection, the struggle with self-image, and the challenge of expressing emotions properly.
This is a great episode to listen to if you’re wondering how your childhood may have affected you.
