• Trusting Yourself Again After Trauma - Coaching Session 06.04.2026 47мин

  I sit down with Josh to unpack the deep-rooted patterns driving his self-doubt and anxiety in a new relationship. What begins as uncertainty about love quickly reveals unresolved grief, childhood trauma, and a lingering sense of guilt around his mother’s passing. Together, we explore how past experiences shape our ability to trust ourselves and make decisions. This is a powerful look at what it takes to move from rumination and fear toward self-trust and emotional freedom.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Opening The Conversation01:00 - New Relationship, Old Doubts02:00 - Marriage Breakdown And Mental Health05:00 - First Panic Attacks And Early Trauma10:00 - Losing His Mother18:00 - Grief Comes To The Surface23:00 - What He Misses Most29:00 - Guilt And Self-Blame33:00 - Can You Forgive Yourself?36:00 - Fear Of Making The Wrong Choice42:00 - Why Good Relationships Feel Unsafe44:30 - Rebuilding Trust In Yourself***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
