Life is full of little (and sometimes big) wounds. Maybe you were a baby left to cry and somehow decided the world ignores you. Maybe it was your first heartbreak in your teens or your first partner who cheated. These experiences leave marks, pack away in the subconscious, and sometimes, we let them shape how we show up in the world.

A friend betrayed you? Boom—you build walls around your trust. Heartbroken by a cheater? Suddenly every new love feels like a risk. Sound familiar? It’s normal, it’s human… and it can also get out of hand if you’re not careful.
