Lena: You know, Miles, I was thinking about how we often blame our current stress on a bad week at work or just being tired, but sometimes it feels like we’re reacting to something much older.
Miles: Exactly. It’s like we’re following an internal emotional map that was drawn years ago. What’s fascinating is that these "core wounds" aren't always about one big, dramatic event. Often, it’s just the nervous system learning to adapt to things like a parent being emotionally unavailable or inconsistent.
Lena: Right, so it’s less about what happened and more about the "truth" our younger selves created to survive. Like, if a text goes unreturned, one person feels fine while another feels a surge of genuine panic.
Miles: That’s the wound talking. It’s a physiological response, not just a thought. Let’s explore how these early imprints shape our adult lives and how we can start to soften their grip.
