RE: Some thoughts about prenatal trauma and childhood trauma

in #writing2 years ago

What you referring to stems heavily from behavioural and cognitive psychology. Indentifying behaviour, and issues and then changing ones approach to dealing with them.. the change takes a while but the fact that you are now aware of what you don't want and looking out for those behaviour is great. Even if you slip up, you already making progress coz you instantly realise you have and can take corrective steps and measurements to try and handle it better in future. If remember when studying same thing was said, companies and medical aids will rather cover drug therapies than behavioural therapy. But the later 8s definitely more effective. I dont practice, but my studies definitely helped me with a lot of my childhood trauma. Also grew up with unhappy 0atents who stayed together for 30+ years. Fighting to the ends, till my father passed 2 years ago. I have my own family now with a little girl and try my best to not fuck her up emotionally. Parenting is hard though. And I also realise that despite my parents being dysfunctional, they too have a lot of undealt trauma and were doing the best they could. But it's up to us to break the cycle. I wish you love and happiness, and a full happy heart! !LUV

Thanks for the thoughtful response!
Yeah, I heard for some people it can take years... So, I shouldn't expect too much too quick! But, even what I've experienced so far after only a few sessions has been quite profound.

Well said. I'm definitely in a much better position to take corrective steps and to hopefully make progress and avoid previous mistakes!

That's also what I've heard from quite a few people through comments or YouTube videos that this type of therapy is superior to drugs, which is once again weird why the medical industry won't look at it more...

That's good to hear that your studies helped you with some of your childhood trauma!
Sorry to hear about the situation with your parents, though I can definitely relate.

That's awesome you have your own family now! :) And good to hear you try to avoid harming your little girl. And yeah, I'm sure parenting must be very difficult! It's intimidating for sure, but I would like to experience it.

Yes, I think everyone is doing the best they know how to for the most part and I also agree that it's up to us to break the cycle and I'm going to do my best! <3 Thank you for the well wishes and same to you! I wish you love and happiness and a full happy heart as well! :)

It was a long read, but I enjoyed it. 8 guess I could relate alot. I'm sorry about your home situation as well growing up. All we can do is try and see the positives and learn from it. Then it was not a waste. Experiences make us who we are. If we had it easy, we might not be as self reflective and started a whole new cycle instead of breaking it. Life has a funny way of showing us wisdom.

Keep working on yourself and you will atract that positive soul mate. As I get older I've learnt that everyone has shit going on at home, some people's are just more hectic than others. But noone is without demons and we gotta work on ourselves before we try and be with others. We are responsible for our own happiness. I always tell my husband, I don't have to be in this relationship I want to be here. It helped that I did a lot of healing before I met him, and his childhood was not as traumatising.

You'll find your person, when you ready. Now you gotta find yourself and love yourself, cracks and all. There is so much happiness to find like this, even before you let someone in.
