Rebuilding Self-Trust After Survival

Self-trust doesn’t disappear overnight.

It erodes slowly — through survival patterns, people-pleasing, codependency, and years of putting everyone else’s needs before your own.

For many women, the realization comes when they find themselves questioning everything — their decisions, their intuition, their voice.

In this episode, Christina opens an honest, compassionate conversation about rebuilding trust in yourself after living in survival mode.

Because self-distrust isn’t a personal failure.

It’s an adaptive response.

Through personal reflection and somatic insight, she explores how self-trust is repaired — not through force or mindset alone — but through micro-moments of honoring your body, needs, and boundaries.

In this episode, we explore:

• How survival patterns erode self-trust
• Intuition vs. hypervigilance
• What self-distrust looks like in daily decisions
• People-pleasing and codependency patterns
• Boundaries as internal safety
• Nervous system healing and trust
• How self-trust shows up in the body
• Micro-moments that begin repair

A key reminder:

Self-trust isn’t rebuilt in giant leaps.

It’s rebuilt every time you:

• Listen to your body
• Follow through on your needs
• Hold a boundary
• Choose not to abandon yourself

Small moments create deep repair.
