Have you ever felt like asking for help made you a burden?
Like your emotions were too much—or worse, not welcome at all?
In this deeply healing episode, Brooke Deanne takes you on a powerful journey into one of the most misunderstood wounds of trauma survivors: the belief that your needs make you unlovable. Rooted in real client stories and Brooke’s trauma-informed lens, this conversation explores how emotional neglect, narcissistic parenting, and generational silence condition us to abandon ourselves—and how to break free.
You’ll learn:
How the nervous system internalizes emotional dismissal as danger
Why we overcorrect by becoming the “easy one” or the people-pleaser
The fear of becoming like our caregivers and how that shapes self-worth
What reparenting really looks like (and feels like) in the moment
If you’re healing from narcissistic abuse or a childhood where your needs were never safe, this episode will feel like coming home.
Because you are not too much. You are just finally ready to be whole.
✨ Plus: Journal prompts, nervous system insight, and your reminder that real love includes your needs.
