340. Neglect Breaking the Cycle: Healing Shadows of Self-Neglect and Isolation (Shadow Work Series Part 11 of 22)

The Playground

Are you always putting yourself last, feeling invisible, or withdrawing from the world when things get tough? In this episode, we’re breaking down the shadows of self-neglect and isolation—how they sneak into your life, what keeps you stuck in these patterns, and, most importantly, how to break the cycle. We’ll explore why neglecting your own needs isn’t noble, it’s draining, and how choosing yourself is the first step to real healing. If you’re tired of feeling unseen, unheard, or disconnected, this episode is your call to reconnect with YOU. Let’s rewrite the story, one act of self-care at a time.

In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows.
