In this episode, John tackles one of the greatest tragedies of unhealed trauma: the fact that it causes us to vehemently reject good things in life.
- Why, every day, millions of people actively reject opportunity, money, and caring relationships.
- How childhood trauma creates a false frame of reference that warps adult judgment.
- How this warped judgment causes good people to reject good things.
- Why people get scared when they near a genuine opportunity for change.
- Why we distract from the misery of our lives (and not just to avoid misery)
- How this phenomenon forms a negative feedback loop that traps us
- How we can slowly but surely free ourselves from this trap
- How we can expand the possibilities for our lives by identifying and dismantling this malformed aspect of the psyche.
