Episode 48: Your Childhood Isn’t Over, It Lives In Your Nervous System
Description
In this episode, Belinda takes you deep into one of the most important and often misunderstood truths about healing: your childhood didn’t end when you grew up, it lives in your nervous system.
Whether you overthink, shut down, people-please, avoid conflict, struggle with boundaries, or feel “too much” or “not enough,” this episode will help you understand why, and more importantly, what you can do about it.
This is a compassionate, grounded, deeply validating look at the patterns that follow us into adulthood, and how to begin rewriting them.

- How your nervous system was shaped before you had language
- What your body learned about safety, love, and needs in early childhood
