    Suppressed Emotions - David's Story

    Navigating Inner Conflict: David's Journey to Healing In this 'Stories of Healing' episode of the Attached Life Podcast, we explore the journey of David, a 38-year-old man struggling with his emotions and relationships. David's wife pushed him to seek therapy due to his frequent gaslighting, intense anger, and emotional neglect. The episode delves into his therapy sessions, where it's revealed that David undermines his own emotions similarly to how he dismisses his wife's feelings. This behavior is traced back to his childhood experiences where his feelings were invalidated. Through inner child work and imaginative exercises, David begins to understand and validate his own emotions, paving the way for healthier relationships with himself, his spouse, and his spirituality.
