Reclaiming the Real You: Healing the Inner Child and Ending Self-Sabotage | Nathan Simmonds
Manage episode 508395071 series 3589989
In this deeply powerful episode, Nathan Simmons takes us on a raw and revealing journey into the nature of trauma, perception, and inner transformation. Exploring the quote “What’s normal to the spider is chaos to the fly,” Nathan unpacks how our experiences shape our understanding of the world—and why no two people truly share the same reality.
Through compelling personal stories of childhood illness, bullying, addiction, and recovery, he explains how unresolved trauma leads to self-sabotage, people-pleasing, addiction, and emotional disconnection. Nathan introduces the transformative practice of inner child healing, showing how we can reparent ourselves, release buried emotions, and reclaim the parts of us that were pushed into shadow.
He explores the role of subconscious programming, the myths of forgiveness, and how to shift from self-abandonment to self-leadership. With insights into societal division, political polarisation, and the collective wounds we carry, this episode invites listeners to see discomfort not as an enemy—but as a gateway to deep personal freedom.
If you're ready to understand why your triggers are your teachers, and how healing your inner world creates outer change, this conversation is a must-listen.
