In this episode we dive deep into the often unseen connection between childhood trauma and the drive to achieve.
High achievers may find their identity wrapped in accomplishments, but those achievements often stem from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
Together we explore how trauma shapes high achievers and how the pursuit of perfectionism can become a coping mechanism.
We also look at the healing power of self-compassion and practical tips on how to shift from judgment to self-love.
Listen as we unpack the key lessons from ACEs research, the impact on mental and physical health, and how embracing self-compassion can lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
