Rewriting the Story You Learned About Love: How to Heal the Childhood Wounds Affecting Your Adult Relationships w/ Vienna Pharaon

Early experiences quietly shape how we attach, communicate, and handle conflict in adult relationships—without us even realizing it. In this episode, Vienna Pharaon, marriage and family therapist and author of The Origins of You, explores the five core childhood wounds many carry into adulthood. She explains how these wounds can appear as avoidance, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or staying stuck in unhealthy patterns—and why they were protective strategies, not flaws. Vienna also shares practical tools to heal these patterns so your past informs you without defining your future.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 • The five core childhood wounds and how they show up in relationships

• Why early protective strategies can later limit intimacy

 • How attachment styles, emotional triggers, and beliefs about love are formed

 • Tools for identifying the narratives driving your relationship choices

 • How to heal old patterns to build healthier, more connected relationships
