Negative experiences have a profound negative impact on our lives but then those negative beliefs start feeding on each other. Each feeds the other two and it can become a vicious tornado of pain and hurt.

Trying to resolve one of these symptoms can prove frustrating or even futile. As long as the negative experience that birthed the beliefs remains untreated those negative beliefs can regrow.

Healing the negative experience at the root of the symptoms is a core piece of effectively healing. Once the cause is dealt with it can be a much more effective project healing the negative beliefs.

Coming through awful childhood experiences can make us strong and resourceful, but that does not mean that it's a good thing that these experiences happened. It means we are AMAZING! Despite all that was stacked up against us, we overcame.

But sometimes getting through our childhoods leaves us with painful memories that will not stay in the past. We have already done the most difficult task. We have survived the experience. Now we need to take back our lives! Reclaiming our lives from our past is possible.

A childhood of abuse and neglect can leave someone with a very twisted opinion of themselves. They might believe that they are bad, dirty or unworthy of respect and love. They may believe that somehow they deserved the awful things that happened to them. But that does not mean they are right. Others may have drastically different views of those individuals. Often they are so drastically different that the person thinks they must be lying or poking fun.

But what if the friends opinions are actually more accurate than the persons own beliefs about themselves. A child never deserves to be abused or neglected. A child is never at fault for any abuse or neglect. A child is always worthy of respect and love.

If you came through a tragic childhood and blame yourself for those experiences, your opinion may be inaccurate.

Some people find that they want to both:
- Never hear another story about childhood abuse, neglect or trauma
- They want to find every piece of news about childhood abuse, neglect and trauma.

This can feel very confusing!

In this blog post I discuss:
- How this response is very normal
- 3 steps to help manage these conflicting feelings
- And, a final thought about the achievements of individuals with their own history of abuse, neglect and trauma.

Awful things that happened to us don't just go away.

Even if we bury them really deep or pretend they never happened. The pain and hurt of those experiences seeps out into our life. It can make trust elusive and joy a rare visitor. It can wreak havoc on the healthy happy life we so desperately want.

Only when we face our past and heal the painful wounds can we gain control of the impact of that history on our current life. This is not an easy journey, but then again, living with it still poisoning your life isn't easy either. But it can be an amazing and rewarding journey that can change your life.

We've been in denial for too long!

Yes, it would be great if every mother, aunt, nanny, heck every woman was just full of love and compassion and exceptional parenting skills. But that's not reality.

The reality is that some women do great harm! And we need to stop ignoring the harm they do and stop ignoring the hurt experienced by the victims of these women.

Isn't it funny how we say that someone has a fairy tale life when it's beautiful and easy... All fairy tales (even modern cartoon versions) include difficult challenges that force the princess to find her strength.

If we are struggling with difficult challenges it may actually be more true to say that we are the fairy tale princess (midway through our story).

But wait, the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales didn't actually have happy endings. You're right, many of the original stories had horrible endings. So do the work of healing your past and rewrite your original ending to your story.

Emotions that we push down or refuse to acknowledge don't just go away.

They build up.

They push and shove for attention and they show up at the worst times. They'll even amplify other emotional experiences - making frustrations into rages and disappointments into disasters.

Unhealed childhood trauma is often the source of bottled up emotions. Healing from those experiences is an effective way to release those emotions.

How we talk and think about ourselves has a huge impact on our emotions and our behaviors.

Calling ourselves dumb or lazy will change what we try to achieve.

Calling ourselves unworthy will impact our ability to accept love.

Calling ourselves mean names will discourage us from trying to excel in life.

Unfortunately, we rarely think to challenge these awful thoughts. This is often because we truly believe them. But believing them is not proof that they are true.

And challenging the thoughts is only half the battle, we must also heal the hurt at the root of our negative beliefs. Only when we do both can we truly come to believe something better about ourselves.

Perhaps you've heard of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Perhaps you've heard of cPTSD (complex PTSD). But what are the similarities and the differences between the two?

This blog looks at the three areas where there are the most striking differences between them: The cause, the symptoms & the treatment. It also explores why the American Psychiatric Association doesn't feel cPTSD needs to be it's own separate diagnosis and why many therapist who work with cPTSD believe that it should be.

When we grow up in a home that never feels safe we can struggle to recognize danger or risk. When we are constantly feeling in danger or at risk as a child we learn to ignore the warning signs when the appear around us. A person, particularly a child, cannot live in a state of constant danger response. Because they must rest, they learn to push aside and ignore the part of themselves that points out the presence of danger.

Because of this (and other reasons), people who grew up with childhood trauma are at greater risk of experiencing trauma as adults. Their children are also at greater risk of experiencing their own trauma too.

Healing from our childhood trauma and learning to hear and listen to that part of ourselves that watches for danger and risk is the best way to decrease a persons risk of future trauma and to stop inter-generational trauma.

Painful events that happened to us in our childhood that we are still carry with us are like weights. They drag at us and weigh us down. They make our adult lives harder.

If we can release the weight of our past we can feel lighter and more free.

One of the best ways to release our past is to heal it. As we heal our past it stops being a weight in our present lives.
