When we experience trauma, we are taught the lesson that external forces have great ability to impact us. This is true.

AND - what's tricky is that as we come out of abusive situations, we continue to look to something external - not only as a source of potential pain, but as the source of happiness and safety.

This is an error.

We are responsible for our own happiness. And re-parenting ourselves has a lot to do with no longer looking outside of ourselves but instead owning the choices we are making that are either contributing to or diminishing our happiness.
