Ep 217: The Story You Make Up About What Everyone Thinks of You

Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

Why do you always assume you did something wrong in relationships? Why does your mind immediately jump to “they must be thinking something bad about me” when someone pulls away, doesn’t respond, or seems off?

In this episode, we break down the pattern of self-blame and obsessive mind-reading that many women experience after emotional abuse. You’ll learn why your brain fills in the blanks with worst-case assumptions, how trauma wires you to personalize other people’s behavior, and why this leads to anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion.

We’ll also explore the difference between intuition and anxiety, and give you grounded, practical steps to interrupt the pattern so you can stop spiraling and start feeling more stable in your relationships.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly trying to figure out what others think of you—or blaming yourself when something feels off—this episode will help you understand why and show you a new way forward.
