Listen "7. Too Good To Be Whole: Breaking the Good Girl/Boy Complex"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into the hidden trauma of being “the good one.” We explore the childhood conditions that shape the Good Girl / Good Boy complex, the nervous system patterns it creates, and the emotional toll it takes on our adult relationships, health, and sense of self.We unpack:How emotionally unavailable or controlling caregivers shape self-abandonmentThe adult signs of chronic people-pleasing, hyper-independence, and perfectionismHow nervous system dysregulation reinforces the “good” performanceGabor Maté’s research on autoimmune illness and repressed emotionWhy “niceness” isn’t the same as compassionWhat it really means to become whole, not just goodI also share a powerful message from someone in my audience who said:“I love being the good girl. Being empowered feels too masculine. I’ve had to be strong for too long.”If you’ve ever felt that way — this episode is for you.We’re unlearning "good" to make space for truth, softness, and self-trust.🔗 Connect with Me:📸 Instagram: @katiedelimon🎵 TikTok: @katiedelimon🌐 Website: www.katiedelimon.com🎥 Watch the LIVE [Good Girls Gone Bad] with Psychotherapist Yelna here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMhtrQIsVO9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
