About this listen
We explore how a polished childhood story can hide harm and why so many of us feel like outsiders in our own families. We unpack cognitive dissonance, rereading childhood with clarity, and the slow, necessary work of boundaries and self‑love that ends self‑blame.
• the gap between family image and lived reality
• cognitive dissonance and defence mechanisms in caregivers
• rereading childhood as a coherent narrative
• the jigsaw metaphor for making sense of fragments
• estrangement as gradual boundary setting
• why “forgive and move on” can harm without acknowledgement
• shifting from comparison to self‑compassion
• practical steps to release self‑blame and build safety
