The Mirror’s Burden: Emotional Fluency & Support | The Reckoning Part 9

Are you the one who translates everyone else’s emotions but hides your own? Dan unpacks the mirror archetype: Those who transform tension into understanding yet feel unseen. Emotional fluency can become armor; your neutrality camouflages needs. This episode explores the grief of being invisible, the courage to be witnessed and the challenge of allowing someone to look into you without turning the mirror back.

Episode highlights:

• How childhood survival strategies create the mirror archetype.
• The paradox of articulating your pain so well that people assume you’re processing it.
• Finding resonance that can hold your rawness without rushing to fix you.
