Why STRONG People Often Have the Most WOUNDED INNER CHILD | Carl Jung Shadow Work Series Episode 5
"Why Strong People Often Have the Most Wounded Inner Child | Carl Jung Shadow Work Series Episode 5"
The strongest people often carry the deepest wounds.
Carl Jung once said, "The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents." Many who appear emotionally resilient, calm, and even inspiring are often carrying the weight of a wounded inner child—one who had to grow up too fast, stay silent to keep the peace, or become the caretaker in a broken environment.
In Episode 5 of the Shadow Work Series, we dive deep into why emotionally strong people are often the ones whose inner child was never allowed to be weak. We’ll unpack the psychological patterns behind silent suffering, the masks people wear to survive, and what true healing actually requires.
🧩 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The psychological roots of over-resilience and emotional numbing
Why strength can be a trauma response—not a personality trait
How perfectionism and control are often signs of hidden pain
Carl Jung’s insights into the shadow self and childhood trauma
The first steps to reparenting your wounded inner child
If you’ve always been “the strong one,” this episode will feel like a mirror.
The truth is: your strength may have come from surviving what no child ever should. And that truth deserves healing.
