## Resource

When Protection Becomes a Prison Sometimes the walls we build to protect ourselves end up keeping us stuck. In this episode, we talk about how trauma, fear, and past pain can turn survival into a way of life and how healing begins when we no longer have to live in constant self-protection. If you’ve ever felt emotionally guarded, disconnected, or afraid to let others in, this conversation is for you.
