In this episode, I speak with a caller who shares her struggles with depression, loneliness, and complicated relationships after moving from India to Canada. At 26, she reflects on her tumultuous past marked by childhood abuse and current challenges in a semi-dating situation with an older man, which is fraught with emotional neglect. We discuss the impact of her history on her social anxiety and desire for meaningful connections, emphasizing the importance of emotional safety. I encourage her to seek therapy to address unresolved trauma and prioritize her well-being. The conversation highlights the journey toward healing and breaking free from toxic relationship patterns.
