Episode 258: When Control Becomes a Coping Mechanism: Understanding Emotional Displacement

In this heartfelt episode of The Cherie Rickard Show, Cherie gets raw and real about a silent struggle many women face—emotional displacement. It’s what happens when we bury pain we don’t want to face and redirect it into overworking, perfectionism, or even snapping at those we love.

Cherie shares her own journey of learning to stop “holding it all together” after the devastating loss of her son, and how God revealed that healing doesn’t come from control—it comes from surrender.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right on the outside but quietly breaking on the inside, this conversation is for you. This is your reminder that healing is possible—and it starts from the inside out.
