In this eye-opening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt tackles the controversial and often misunderstood topic of flirting as a trauma response. Contrary to popular belief that flirting is healthy and beneficial for mental health, Brianne argues that it is a way to fill an emptiness within oneself by taking energy from others. Drawing from her personal experiences and extensive trauma work, she explains how flirting can be a form of energy vampirism, where one seeks validation and attention to escape their own discomfort.

Brianne shares candid stories from her own life, including her year-long journey of abstaining from flirting to heal her trauma responses. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and urges listeners to examine their motives behind flirting. Is it a genuine connection or a way to escape personal insecurities? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a path towards a more authentic and self-sufficient existence.
