Extreme independence is a trauma response in many people, and it happens for valid reasons.
Ever found yourself insisting on doing everything alone, even when you’re overwhelmed? Cynthia Bailey-Rug dives into this very issue in her insightful podcast episode. She explores how extreme independence can often be a response to trauma, especially for those who have faced abusive relationships or narcissistic parenting. Growing up with the belief that others can't be trusted, many learn to rely solely on themselves to avoid disappointment or hurt.
Cynthia sheds light on how this coping mechanism, while seemingly strong, can actually hinder personal growth and connection with others. She offers practical advice on how to break free from this cycle, suggesting steps like seeking help from trustworthy people and embracing personal development. By sharing her own experiences and professional insights, Cynthia provides a compassionate guide for those looking to find a healthier balance between independence and interdependence.
