Ever thought that your past traumas have helped “push” you to succeed?

Well that would be true, but not necessarily for the most psychologically beneficial reasons.

Here’s the thing:

Experiencing trauma is painful and it is our instinctive nature to move as fast as possible away from this trauma.

Some people escape the trauma by becoming very independent, achieving significant markers and milestones in their life as a form of protection.

And although this method of response technically saved you from the trauma, if the trauma is unresolved, there is a lingering trace left inside of your being.

Often, the trace is seen in 2 categories:
1. Criticism and attack. The trace of trauma leaves us with an inner voice of constant self-criticism as our inner child has yet to heal.
2. Neglect and abandonment. As an adult, you may neglect your emotional and physiological needs as you are often operating on autopilot (or your sympathetic fight or flight nervous system is active).
