It’s Not You – It’s Your Buried Childhood Terror

You keep running from the fear screaming in your chest because you think it belongs to right now. It doesn't. That terror arrived decades ago and you've been dragging it behind you ever since, disguised as anxiety, shame, or the next distraction. Pretending it's modern stress won't release it. Only turning around and walking straight into the original pain will.

The Fear Trapped in Your Body Is Old

That shaking, racing heart, the tightness that hits when you feel needy or exposed is not about today. It is memory. Unfelt emotion from childhood got shoved down because expressing it meant more danger, more rejection, more humiliation. You learned to survive by abandoning those feelings. Now they live inside your nervous system, firing off whenever anything resembles the original wound. The post that triggered outrage simply named the truth: avoidance keeps the pain alive; feeling it all the way through is the only exit.

Three Important Takeaways

• The fear and panic you feel today are echoes from childhood events you were forced to suppress to survive; they are not caused by present circumstances.
• Avoiding the discomfort through numbing, distraction, or endless thinking only strengthens the grip of those trapped emotions and perpetuates self-abandonment.
• Healing happens by deliberately returning to the original scenes of pain, sitting with the terrified child you once were, and offering the compassion and presence that were missing back then.
