As we journey through our healing a lot of us find ourselves uncovering that a lot of our behaviors, responses, and negative patterns are survival or coping mechanisms we created from a place of trauma in our childhood age. We find ourselves still reacting, responding, and engaging in childlike behaviors spurned out of childhood trauma manifesting in our adult relationships with ourselves and others today. We’ve played out these behaviors so often they metastasize into every aspect of our lives that it becomes our identity. 

No longer able to recognize yourself as who you were prior to the trauma or what you may have become had the trauma never existed, you operate from a place of pain. And as we know too well, “hurt people, hurt people.” 

Without healing and nourishing your inner child you may find your individual growth and life journey stunted by repeat negative cycles and patterns. You’re unable to break free to unlock your full potential. Childhood traumas have the ability of shaping a person’s belief about themselves and the world, affecting their ability to form healthy relationships, regulate their emotions, and manage stress. At whatever age the trauma occurred, if you haven’t taken the time to confront it you are still moving through the world at the age and place of your pain. 

Sometimes we must journey into our pasts to recognize and acknowledge a thing to be true, to understand it, and to validate the feelings associated with it. Once we have, we can begin to craft a change for our future. We have permission to envision something greater. You couldn’t control where you came from or what happened to you. You can control who you become. This is an essential step to unlocking your potential, stepping into your power, and liberating yourself to acquire the joy you are so deserving of!
