In this insightful episode of The Be A Better You Podcast, emotional healing coach Allison K. Dagney dives deep into the hidden ways that self-defense mechanisms, developed after emotional abuse and trauma, can keep you stuck.
Discover how common patterns like over-explaining, rigid control, hyper-vigilance, and seeing criticism everywhere might be sabotaging your personal growth, relationships, and your journey to emotional freedom. Allison gently unpacks how these survival strategies—so often seen in people recovering from covert narcissism and toxic relationships—can quietly become cages that limit your healing journey.
If you’re navigating trauma recovery, healing from emotional abuse, or seeking to break free from the lingering effects of toxic relationships, this episode offers practical insights and hope for moving beyond survival mode into true emotional healing.
Tune in to start becoming a better you, one gentle shift at a time.
