Summary
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak Today I want to talk about something foundational—something that sits underneath so many of the patterns you’re struggling with, whether that’s chronic pain, anxiety, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck in the same loops. We’re diving into core wounds: those deep emotional imprints formed in childhood that shape how you see yourself, others, and the world. These wounds don’t mean something is wrong with you. They’re simply information. But when they go unexamined, they can quietly drive your reactions, your choices, and even your physical symptoms—like you’re looking at life through a lens you don’t even realize you’re wearing. In this episode, I walk you through the most common core wounds—“I’m not good enough,” “I’m unlovable,” “I don’t matter,” “I’m not safe,” and more—and how they show up in your adult life as perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, chronic symptoms, and emotional overwhelm. Most importantly, I’ll show you how to begin working with them using JournalSpeak and compassionate self-inquiry. This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself deeply enough that your nervous system can finally feel safe—and that’s where real healing begins.
