But that's a lie because what you don't remember still runs your life. . How does your childhood trauma affect adult relationships? Can early experiences you don't remember cause anxiety, fear of abandonment, or even intimacy issues.You don't remember the night you cried and no one came, but now you panic when someone doesn't text back. You don't remember the way your parents argued, but now your heart races. Every time you hear someone's raised voice you don't remember being left alone in a crib too long.But now love feels like abandonment. You don't remember it, but your nervous system does, and it's been scripting your relationships ever since. You don't remember being in the womb either, and yet here you are shaped by its rhythm. Miraculously, you don't remember the first time you had a fever. You don't remember the first time you had a fright.You don't remember your first desperate cry that no one answered, but your body does, your nervous system does and your relationships do. And by the end of this episode, you'll never again dismiss those early years because they are the blueprint for why you love the way you do, why you fear abandonment, and why you keep repeating the same emotional patterns.Welcome back, beautiful soul. This is Couch Tales. I'm your host, Anna Lea. And today we're going back all the way back to the years. People love to dismiss ages zero to five. So let's look at this myth. Freud was one of the first to say it plainly, quote, the child is the father of the man. And he didn't mean biologically, he meant psychologically..."

    👇 Watch now to stop chasing and start choosing. The power shift begins with your silence.

    PARTIAL SCRIPT DUE TO SPACE:" You clicked here because you felt it that slow fade when he pulled back the moment he felt like he had you. You are not crazy. It's a pattern. But Ava, she didn't chase HIM. She shifted. And by the end of this episode, so will you. Because when you stop performing for love, you stop being forgotten. Your mystery isn't playing games. It's honoring your complexity at the distance that he seems to require. Ava mastered this rhythm.The moment you stop chasing ghosts is the moment they turn around to see where the heck you went.He pulled away, you noticed, and now you think you have to try harder to win him back? No. No. Listen to me. Listen closely. He didn't pull away because he believed that you lost value. He pulled away because he believed that all of your value was already given to him.Your worth isn't on sale when he exits. Your magic isn't diminished by his absence. This is where most women overcorrect, but Ava, she didn't CHASE HIM and neither will you. When someone starts pulling back, we panic.So what's the Machiavellian truth? Every time you try to prove your place, you make it easier for him to forget why he pursued you in the first place. And Ava, she felt that pulled to Overcorrect when Jake pulled away, but she didn't. She didn't take the bait. Not this time. She remembered the one who chases is always the one who loses.So here's what Ava did. This is how she DID NOT CHASE HIM, SHE shifted from anxiety to authority. She stopped performing for his return. She stopped initiating check-ins. She stopped trying to feel safe in the silence and instead. She became the silence. Not to punish him. Not to manipulate him, but because her energy is expensive, her availability has to be earned, and her time isn't a consolation prize..."
