The Cost of Hiding: Healing the Wounds of Self-Betrayal

In this soulful and meditative episode of Project I Am, Dr. David J. Schlosz gently guides you through the often-unseen experience of self-betrayal—the subtle ways we abandon parts of ourselves to fit in, be accepted, or feel safe. Drawing on wisdom from psychology, mystics, philosophers, and real-life reflection, we explore how self-betrayal fragments our wholeness and how we can begin to call our hidden parts home.

Through compassionate insight, inspirational poetry, and practical steps for self-reclamation, you’ll be invited to rediscover your inner truth, embrace your unique self, and find belonging without compromise. This episode is a journey of remembering who you are beneath the masks—and welcoming yourself back with open arms.
