Episode 188: Abusive Attitudes and Behaviors with Lindsay Poelman
We’ve been exploring the topic of worthiness wounds and their impact on your healing over the last few weeks. Worthiness wounds often come from internalizing teachings based heavily on fear and shame, which can contribute to abusive dynamics in your relationships.
To dive into abusive attitudes and behaviors, boundaries, and worthiness wounds, I’m joined by Lindsay Poelman this week. Lindsay started as a betrayal trauma coach for women whose husbands view porn and is now a facilitator for Trauma-Informed coaches. She’s here to shed light on how worthiness wounds can contribute to abusive attitudes and behaviors, and what you can do to start the healing process.
Join us on this episode to discover the emotional wounds that often contribute to abusive dynamics in relationships. Lindsay and I explore examples of how abusive attitudes and behaviors can manifest, why you’re more likely to exhibit abusive tendencies if you have deep worthiness wounds, and Lindsay’s brain hacks for setting boundaries and creating a sense of self-safety.
