67. Hyper-Independence is a Trauma Response

We’re unpacking the physical effects of growing up in a dysfunctional household and how the body stores trauma long after you’ve emotionally “moved on.” From burnout to adrenal fatigue, muscle tension to digestive issues—this is the side of trauma we don’t talk about enough.This isn’t just about childhood memories. It’s about how your body has carried the weight of emotional chaos, parentification, and high-stakes expectations. We speak directly to the eldest daughters who had to grow up too fast, who struggle to rest, and who are just now learning what safety actually feels like in their own bodies.Don't forget to give us a rating and send us your dilemmas at:💌 thedoublelifepodcast@gmail.comHosts:⁠@farahrajax⁠⁠@devamsha⁠
