Have you ever looked at others succeed or experience something meaningful and thought, “I wouldn’t want that” or something similar? Have you ever wondered why? What if this isn’t just a passing, meaningless thought?

This overlooked reaction can actually be a trauma response, especially for childhood trauma survivors, It’s a way to shield ourselves from the risks of rejection, shame, or failure.

In today’s video, I share insights into how this response reveals unfulfilled parts of us and the quiet grief of what we may have missed out on. By recognizing and addressing these feelings, we can begin to heal the core beliefs that hold us back and reclaim our ability to take risks and pursue what we truly desire.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—have you noticed this reaction in yourself? Let’s start the conversation in the comments below.
