139. The Pain of Being Misunderstood And Learning to Stay With Yourself

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, I share the emotional reality of what it feels like to be misunderstood, especially when you are doing deep healing work and your choices no longer make sense to others. This conversation explores the grief that arises when you begin to live more truthfully, and the nervous system responses that get activated when connection feels threatened.I speak about the internal conflict between wanting to be seen and wanting to protect yourself, and how many of us learned early in life that safety came from adapting, explaining, or shrinking. As those old strategies start to fall away, it can feel disorienting and lonely — but it is also where a new level of self-trust begins to emerge.We explore what it means to stay present with your emotions instead of abandoning yourself for approval, how misunderstanding can trigger deep attachment wounds, and why learning to hold yourself with compassion is one of the most powerful steps in healing. This episode is an invitation to soften into your own experience, even when others cannot meet you there.FREE RESOURCE: Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: ⁠https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“I realised how deeply being misunderstood still activates something very young inside of me.”“There’s a part of us that would rather explain and over-function than risk losing connection.”“Healing sometimes looks like staying with yourself when no one else understands.”“The nervous system doesn’t just want logic — it wants safety.”“You can grieve the loss of being seen and still choose not to abandon yourself.”being misunderstood, attachment wounds, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, emotional healing, self trust, trauma recovery, people pleasing patterns, abandonment trauma, healing journey, inner child work, emotional safety, authenticity, relational healing, survival mode, personal growth, feminine healing
