The Version of You Everyone Loved was Trauma

About this episode

This episode explores how trauma and abusive relationships shape identity and the impact of healing on personal likability.

Were you actually loved, or were you easiest to keep when you asked for less, tolerated more, and stayed self-abandoning? This episode breaks down how abuse, trauma, and abusive relationships shape identity, why healing changes how people respond to you, and what it costs to keep calling survival your personality. If this exposed how much of your likability was built on self-abandonment, the RRR Membership is where identity repair begins. https://meaghan-long-coaching.thrivecart.com/rrr-membe...
