Listen "Why Emotional Time Bombs Explode Decades Later: The Shocking Truth About Survival Mode and Late-Life Crises"
Episode Synopsis
Highlights how emotional suffering often remains hidden for decades, largely because the human mind prioritizes survival over self-reflection. In childhood, especially under abusive or neglectful conditions, self-awareness could be too destabilizing, so children instinctively adopt coping mechanisms: self-blame, idealization of caregivers, or compulsive achievements. These strategies protect them from unbearable feelings but leave the underlying pain unresolved. Only later in life—often by middle age, when external security has been achieved—the long-suppressed distress emerges, sometimes in sudden, erratic behavior. While destabilizing, this delayed eruption is framed not as a failure but as a crucial opening for healing. It marks the moment when one can finally confront the emotional wounds of the past, making therapy and self-exploration both possible and necessary for long-term well-being.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
