In this episode of The Katrina Johnson Show, we’re exploring the lies trauma can teach us about ourselves and how those beliefs often follow us into adulthood, shaping our confidence, relationships, boundaries, and self-worth.

Together, we’ll discuss common trauma-based beliefs such as:

• ​ “I’m not good enough”
• ​ “I have to earn love”
• ​ “My needs don’t matter”
• ​ “I can’t trust anyone”
• ​ “I’ll never change”

You’ll also learn practical CBT-based strategies to help you identify, challenge, and begin replacing unhealthy thought patterns with beliefs that support healing and growth.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling stuck, this episode will remind you that what happened to you is not the same as who you are.

Your trauma may have influenced your story, but it does not get the final say in who you become.
