Do you or someone you know push people away? Maybe you crave friends or connection, but when someone shows interest, you withdraw. This might be a trauma response.
In my book, ‘City of Serpents,’ I share my journey of dealing with abuse and betrayal—from family and so-called friends. Over time, I developed an anxious attachment style, sought validation, and pushed people away. I began to believe everyone was out to get me, reinforcing the cycle of mistreatment.
Now, I reply to messages without hesitation. Through what I teach in ‘City of Serpents,’ I learned to heal from the past. By revolutionizing my beliefs, as shared in ‘How Champions Talk to Themselves,’ I’ve gained self-respect and receive far better treatment from others.
Are you pushing people away?
