Host Neena explores the inner child core wound "I am unlovable," explaining how it shows up as shame, mistrust, fear, guilt, and feeling trapped in relationships. She uses the traffic lights of tolerance and a "3D glasses" metaphor to show how trauma lenses color present interactions.
She offers practical healing steps—recognizing trauma reactions, finding safe people and coaches, using breath, journaling, music, prayer, and self-compassion—to move from survival patterns toward connection and positive daily change.
