Why do we keep running back to things that causes so much pain even when we're fully aware that it's causing us pain?

So this episode is going to be a bit of a lightball moment for you.

So stay tuned after this intro.

Hi, I'm Gloria Zhang and after 10 years of struggling in toxic relationships, I attracted the love of my life by healing my inner child.

This podcast is your weekly dose of my expertise as a therapist and dating relationship coach for high achievers.

Learn tips to overcome low self-worth, emotional baggage,

and childhood trauma so that you too can step into your power and attract the love you desire.

Welcome to the Inner Child Podcast. Welcome to the first official episode of the Inner Child

podcast. I'm your host, Gloria Zhang, and I'm a psychotherapist,

and I help you overcome people pleasing and low self-worth or good. So if you've ever felt like your

life is just a broken record player, cycling over the same toxic relationships, the same problems showing up at work,

the same problems over and over again, keeping you stuck and keeping you in self-sabotage mode.

And this episode is definitely for you.

This is you?

Then you probably have what's called a core wound. There are four main

core wounds and they are called guilt, abandonment, trust, and neglect. Oh, the famous four.

And what a core wound is is a very deep, old, ancient hurt that happened to you when you were a kid and it was never really resolved.

You didn't get to close the door on that chapter completely.

And what's happening is that that wound has manifested into a deep insecurity that remains inside your wounded inner child

and continues to express itself through your adult relationships,

through your job, through your choices, through the way that you interact with people.

Pretty scary, I know, but I can promise you, this does not have to be how the rest of your life plays out.
