These 10 inner child wounds shape how we love, react, and cope as adults.
Not because you’re broken — but because you adapted.

Here’s what each one really means:

1. Abandonment wound
You fear being left, ignored, or emotionally dropped — so you cling, over-give, or panic when people pull away.

2. Rejection wound
You feel “not good enough” at your core and are highly sensitive to criticism, exclusion, or disapproval.

3. Neglect wound
Your needs weren’t seen or met, so now you struggle to know what you feel, need, or deserve.

4. Betrayal wound
Trust feels unsafe. You expect people to lie, leave, or hurt you — so you stay guarded or hyper-aware.

5. Shame wound
You carry a deep sense that you are wrong, bad, or flawed — not just that you made mistakes.

6. Guilt wound
You feel responsible for everything and everyone. You apologize a lot and struggle to let yourself be human.

7. Emotional suppression wound
You learned feelings weren’t safe, so you numb, intellectualize, or shut down instead of expressing emotions.

8. Unworthiness wound
You believe love, rest, or success must be earned — and feel uncomfortable receiving without “proving” yourself.

9. Fear of conflict wound
Disagreement feels dangerous. You avoid hard conversations, people-please, or stay silent to keep the peace.

10. Over-control wound
You try to manage everything — yourself, others, outcomes — because unpredictability once felt unsafe.

These wounds are survival responses.
And survival patterns can be healed. 🌿

Trauma teaches us that trust = danger. Healing teaches us that trust can be rebuilt safely.

When you’ve been hurt, betrayed, abandoned, or emotionally unsafe, your nervous system doesn’t forget. It creates protective beliefs like:
“If I trust, I’ll get hurt again.”

That’s not weakness. That’s your brain trying to keep you alive.

But healing isn’t about forcing trust. It’s about relearning safety in small, regulated steps.

Healing says:
🤍 Trust is earned, not blindly given
🤍 I can go slowly
🤍 Not everyone is my past
🤍 I can trust myself to notice red flags
🤍 I’m allowed to have boundaries

This is how trauma recovery really works — not through pressure, but through nervous system safety, self-trust, and emotional awareness.

You don’t have to jump.
You take one safe step at a time.

That’s not regression.
That’s rewiring.

Healing isn’t just about understanding our own wounds — it’s also about recognising that our parents were shaped by pain we may never fully see.

When we grow, we start to realise their behaviour often came from unresolved trauma, emotional neglect, survival patterns, and generational wounds passed down long before we were born. That understanding doesn’t excuse harm. It doesn’t erase boundaries. But it helps us step out of the cycle instead of staying trapped inside it.

This is how generational trauma healing begins.
This is how we stop repeating emotional patterns.
This is how we become the one who says: it ends with me.

Healing means choosing awareness over reaction. Compassion over denial. Growth over repetition. Step by step, we walk the stairs forward — not back into the past.

You are not responsible for the trauma you inherited.
But you are powerful enough to heal it.

One of the clearest ways to understand someone’s emotional maturity is simple:

How do they respond when you tell them they hurt you?

An emotionally safe person can pause, listen, reflect, and take accountability without collapsing into shame or defensiveness. They understand that responsibility builds connection.

But for many trauma survivors, this is where relationships become painful.

Because people with unresolved wounds often cannot tolerate being seen as “the one who caused pain.”
So instead of repair, you get:

• defensiveness
• blame shifting
• minimising your feelings
• turning it back on you
• emotional withdrawal

And here’s the hard truth:

Trauma survivors often grew up with this dynamic.
So their nervous system can confuse emotional unavailability with familiarity.

When love once came with inconsistency, dismissal, or emotional absence, the body may still gravitate toward partners who feel the same — even when the mind wants safety.

Emotionally present people can feel unfamiliar, even uncomfortable at first. There’s no chaos to “work for,” no emotional chase, no survival pattern to activate.

That doesn’t mean you’re choosing wrong on purpose.
It means your nervous system learned relationships through survival, not safety.

Healing trauma includes learning to:

✨ recognize emotional safety
✨ tolerate calm connection
✨ choose people who can stay present when things feel hard

You are not “too much.”
You were often just asking unsafe people to do something they never learned.

And that is not your failure.

Trauma doesn’t just live in your memories.
It lives in your nervous system and shows up in your body every single day.

What many people call “being dramatic,” “lazy,” or “too sensitive” is often a survival response your body learned during overwhelming experiences.

When trauma isn’t fully processed, the nervous system can stay stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or dissociation — even when you are safe now.

That can look like:

• excessive sweating
• constant exhaustion
• emotional numbness
• body aches and tension
• trouble sleeping
• dissociation or feeling detached
• restlessness or jittery energy
• flat emotions or “nothingness”

These are not personality flaws.
They are trauma responses.

Your body is not working against you.
It is trying to protect you the only way it knows how.

Healing trauma isn’t about “thinking positive” or “trying harder.”
It’s about helping the nervous system learn:

✨ safety
✨ regulation
✨ gentle processing at your pace

This is why trauma-informed healing focuses on the body, not just the mind.

You are not broken.
Your nervous system adapted to survive.
And it can learn safety again. 🌱

Your stomach and intestines are deeply connected to your emotional world — this is why stress, fear, and trauma often show up as gut symptoms.

The intestines are a major part of your digestive and nervous system connection, often called the gut–brain axis. This system allows constant communication between your brain and your digestive tract through nerves, hormones, and the immune system. When you feel anxious, overwhelmed, unsafe, or emotionally burdened, your body doesn’t just “think” it — it processes it physically.

That’s why trauma and chronic stress can lead to:
• stomach aches
• nausea
• bloating
• IBS symptoms
• loss of appetite or emotional eating
• tightness in the belly

Your gut contains millions of neurons and is sometimes called the “second brain.” When your nervous system is in survival mode (fight, flight, freeze), digestion slows down because your body is focused on protection — not processing food. Over time, unprocessed emotions and long-term stress can dysregulate this system.

This idea became widely known through trauma researcher Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. His work showed that trauma is not only stored in memories but also in the body and nervous system, including the gut. He helped shift the understanding that healing trauma requires body-based approaches, not just talking about the past. When people feel chronic fear, shame, or helplessness, these emotional states can manifest as physical sensations — especially in areas like the stomach and intestines.

Your body is not overreacting.
It’s communicating.
Symptoms are signals, not weaknesses.

Healing often involves learning how to feel safe in the body again through:
breathing, grounding, somatic work, gentle movement, and emotional processing.

💔 Mental Abuse Isn’t “Just in Your Head”
Not all abuse leaves bruises.
Some leaves you second-guessing your reality.
Some leaves you apologizing for having emotions.
Some leaves you empty, confused, and invisible.

That’s mental abuse. 🧠💣

It sounds like:

“You’re too sensitive.” 😶

“That never happened.” 🌀

“You're the problem, not me.” 🎭

Silence… as punishment. 🚫

Mental abuse is real. It erodes your self-worth, isolates you, and slowly rewires how you see yourself.

But here's the truth:
🧩 You are not broken.
🧠 You were manipulated.
🔥 And now — you’re waking up.

You don’t have to explain it to anyone.
You don’t need permission to leave what harms you.
You get to choose healing. 🌱

👇 Tell me: Have you ever experienced this kind of pain but didn’t have a name for it?

As the founder of a trauma recovery platform, I want to share something important.

Over the past year, a few people have expressed suicidal thoughts or shared that they were considering harming themselves through this platform. I take this extremely seriously. Even with a large community, I do my best to respond with care, acknowledge their pain, and guide them toward immediate professional and crisis support. No one should feel alone in those moments.

At the same time, it’s important to be clear: a social platform — even a trauma-informed one — cannot replace emergency or clinical mental health care. When someone is in acute emotional distress, real-time support from trained professionals is essential. Encouraging that next step is part of responsible trauma-informed work and ethical community care.

If you are feeling suicidal, at risk of harming yourself, or feel like you can’t stay safe, please reach out for immediate help:

UK:
• Samaritans – 116 123 (24/7, free)
• Text SHOUT to 85258

Emergency: Call your local emergency number (999 in the UK / 112 in many countries).

If you are outside the UK, please contact your local crisis hotline or emergency services in your country. You deserve immediate support, care, and real human connection in those moments.

As this community grows, I’m working on strengthening our safeguarding approach — including clearer crisis guidance, support resources, and exploring additional recovery tools that can gently complement therapy, such as structured self-guided exercises and trauma-informed courses. Healing can feel overwhelming, and sometimes people need supportive steps alongside or after therapy to help regulate their nervous system and feel safer in their recovery process.

Thank you for being part of this space and for caring about mental health.
With care,
Jana

PSP — the grounding tool developed by Recovery Trauma Ltd — helps calm an overwhelmed nervous system fast. 🤍

When panic, anxiety, shutdown, or emotional flooding hit, logic doesn’t work — because your body is in survival mode, not thinking mode.

That’s why PSP (Please Stop Panicking) focuses on a somatic reset, not just mindset.

This tool helps when you feel:
• anxiety rising
• chest tightness
• racing or spiralling thoughts
• freeze or numbness
• overstimulation
• like something bad is about to happen

PSP works by talking directly to your nervous system using:
cold sensation, grounding pressure, gentle breath regulation, and orienting to safety.

✨ Regulation first. Processing later.
✨ Safety before healing.
✨ The body needs reassurance, not criticism.

Save this for the next time your body spirals.
Send it to someone whose nervous system has been in survival mode for too long.

Follow for more on nervous system regulation, trauma healing, emotional regulation skills, somatic therapy tools, CPTSD recovery, anxiety support, and inner child healing.

Sometimes healing doesn’t start with talking.
Sometimes it starts with a sound.

Trauma lives in rhythm — heart rate, breath, tension, startle response.
So it makes sense that music can help regulate what words can’t reach.

🎵 Why music therapy is powerful for trauma healing:

🫀 1. It regulates the nervous system
Slow rhythms can calm anxiety. Steady beats can ground dissociation. Music helps the body shift out of fight-or-flight and into safety.

🧠 2. It reaches the emotional brain directly
Music connects to the limbic system — where emotions and memory live. That’s why a song can unlock feelings you didn’t even know were there.

🗣 3. It gives expression without pressure
Humming, drumming, singing, or just listening allows emotional release without needing to explain or relive the trauma verbally.

🤍 4. It supports connection
Trauma isolates. Making music with others (even simple rhythms) builds co-regulation, trust, and a sense of belonging.

🌊 5. It helps process stored emotions
Music creates a safe emotional container. It allows waves of sadness, anger, grief, or relief to move through instead of getting stuck inside.

You don’t have to be musical.
Your nervous system already understands rhythm, tone, and vibration — it’s built into you.

Sometimes healing sounds like:
a breath
a beat
a melody
a voice finally allowed to be heard.
