Brian Yang joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to make the case that unresolved trauma doesn't stay contained to your personal life — it can quietly shape business outcomes and professional relationships too. The conversation builds a bridge between inner healing work and real-world success.
Much of the discussion centers on patterns Brian Yang has observed in relationships, including what he calls the "relationship Loop of Doom," and how those patterns trace back to childhood experiences and generational trauma passed down through families.
