#001 Internalised Misogyny & The Good Girl Syndrome

Video Poster Image

In Short:

Internalized misogyny turns the system's rules against the woman herself. The result: suppressed anger, "good girl syndrome," and with it smallness, modesty and undercharging. The same energy the world calls leadership and ambition in men is branded aggressive and difficult in women. When the anger was taken, so was the ability to take up space, earn money and own your power — and this episode shows how the cycle breaks in you.

In This Episode:

 The most acute effect of internalized misogyny is that it unconsciously turns into anger against yourself. The system made women manageable and compliant — and with that, poor and modest.

In this episode Susanna Tanni, founder of REBORN Emotional Alchemy and the TraumaNeuro Method, unpacks the effects of women's suppressed, inward-turned anger on money, pleasure and physical health.

Anger is the energy behind the qualities you were never allowed to express:

  • Ambition
  • Achieving
  • Taking
  • Wanting
  • Leading
  • Being visible
  • Being loud
  • Taking up space
  • Competing
  • Winning
  • Claiming your place
  • Receiving without guilt
  • Earning without apology.

In men, these qualities are called leadership, confidence, ambition, attractiveness, sexy. In women, the same qualities are called aggressive, bossy, ridiculous, unfeminine, cold, difficult.

"Internalized misogyny is not the hatred of women. It is the unconscious adoption of the rules of a system built to keep women small — and then enforcing those rules on yourself and on your daughters.

Key Takeaways:

  • Internalized misogyny is not the hatred of women — it's the unconscious adoption of the rules of a system built to keep women small, and then enforcing those rules on yourself and on your daughters.
  • "Good girl syndrome" is a survival strategy, not a personality trait.
  • Anger is the energy behind boundaries, ambition, visibility and taking up space.
  • The same energy is rewarded in men and punished in women.
  • Suppressed anger shows up in your finances: undercharging, discounts before anyone even asks, guilt about receiving.
  • Sexuality and anger rise from the same source. When you suppress them, you suppress your ability to earn.
  • The intergenerational cycle doesn't break by accident. It breaks neurobiologically.
