The very concept of having a relationship with yourself creates a negative relationship with yourself. In this episode, I reveal why the idea of a “relationship with yourself” only exists because of trauma, and how true self-love means dissolving this concept entirely and returning to wholeness.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why babies don’t have a “relationship with themselves”—they just ARE
- How the concept of a relationship with yourself is created by trauma
- Why your inner critic exists and what it’s really trying to do
- The difference between self-love and self-esteem (and why self-esteem keeps you stuck)
- How loving the inner critic transforms it
- Why being hard on yourself blocks improvement instead of creating it
- The paradox: improving your relationship with yourself means dissolving the concept
Actionable Takeaways:
- Recognize that needing to “improve” your relationship with yourself is already a sign of trauma
- Validate the parts of you that learned they were unlovable
- Love your inner critic first—it’s trying to protect you from rejection
