“There is no bigger gift than being at peace with yourself. Overcome the traumatic barriers that are standing in your way. If we process traumatic experiences, we can move on. If we don’t, we may feel their impact decades later without recognizing them as root causes.
According to research from the National Institute of Health, ‘the inner child, whether healthy or wounded, impacts how human beings express themselves.’ -NIH National Library of Medicine. There may come a time in your adult life when you think, ‘Something just does not feel quite right,’ and wonder where this feeling is coming f
rom. This can show up in various ways, such as:
- You feel emotionally unavailable and closed off from other people, even those whom you love and have intimate connections with.
- You cannot control your feelings in high-pressure social settings and tend to have emotional outbreaks regularly.
- You feel drawn to ‘quick fixes’ for your pain, such as alcohol, drugs, or other addictive substances.
Think of them as flesh wounds: Cleaned and treated correctly, they will heal over time. However, if ignored, bacteria and dirt can cause severe inflammation that impacts your health. You are probably asking, ‘But is there anything I can do to work through the trauma that took place a lifetime ago?’
The short answer: Yes, thankfully, there is. You need reliable resources and strategic guidance to help you overcome childhood trauma and negative patterns. A variety of exercises and techniques can help you live a happier life.”
