Today, I want to shed light on the profound impact of childhood trauma and how it can cause us to abandon and betray our authentic selves, often without conscious awareness. When we experience trauma during our formative years, it can shatter our sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. In order to survive, we learn to be hyper-vigilant and hyper-focused on others, constantly seeking external validation and approval. This hyper-vigilance and constant focus on others can lead us to feel alienated from our true selves. We become disconnected from our own needs, desires, and emotions, as our primary focus becomes anticipating and meeting the needs of others. We lose touch with our authentic selves, living in a constant state of disconnection and feeling like we don't truly belong to ourselves. Recognizing the impact of childhood trauma and its influence on our relationship with our authentic selves is a crucial step towards healing. It requires us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. By reconnecting with our authentic selves, we can reclaim our sense of identity, honor our needs and emotions, and cultivate a deep sense of belonging within ourselves. Remember, Dear Ones, healing from childhood trauma is a courageous and transformative journey. By acknowledging the ways in which we've abandoned our authentic selves, we can begin the process of reclaiming our power and living a life aligned with our true essence, conquer codependency, and learn to cultivate mature, loving relationships with others.
