The Emotional Drivers Behind Chronic Bad Breath
In this episode, Heather explores the potential emotional drivers behind chronic bad breath, including suppressed anger, unresolved conflict, hidden resentment, and conversations we continue replaying long after they’ve ended.
Discover how the subconscious may hold on to unfinished experiences, why silence can become associated with safety, and what can happen when we begin resolving the patterns we’ve been carrying inside.
