Have you ever felt like you have to handle everything on your own—even when you’re struggling? While independence is often seen as a strength, there’s a difference between being self-sufficient and being hyper-independent as a trauma response. Psychologists explain that hyper-independence can develop after experiences of abandonment, betrayal, or emotional neglect, making it hard to trust others, seek help, or express vulnerability.

In this video, we’ll go over six hidden signs that your strong independence might actually be rooted in trauma, from emotional self-neglect to a constant need for control. Recognizing these signs is the first step toward healing and breaking free from patterns that keep you isolated.
