Awakening Healing Therapy

Wake up
Share how you feel
Heal so you can stand up for yourself
Help is available

Have compassion for someone, of course. See their wounds. Understand their trauma.

But do not let your compassion erase your discernment. Compassion does not mean removing accountability.

You can care about someone and still hold them responsible for what they do.

In fact, that may be the most loving thing of all. To love them and require them to face themselves.

Did you know that your anxiety and depression may exist because you were a parentified child?

This trauma is when a child was forced into an adult caregiving role for their parents or siblings, taking on responsibilities beyond their developmental capacity, often leading to anxiety, lost childhood, and boundary issues.

Luckily, there is hope for a brand new day in your life!!! Get help to identify and address your own needs, reclaim lost childhood joy, and distinguish between personal responsibility and others' needs!

Here is a great video to get you started. https://youtu.be/zKWFBmtQIUc?si=PWyz0a5tZiJf9or6

Learning that the only validation that I need is from within

Boundaries (so far)

1. Stop seeking compliments - if they are offered, great! Don’t ask ‘how do I look’. Of course ask is anything out to f place that you can’t see if you aren’t near a full sized mirror.

2. Stop waiting for “thank you” you to feel good about doing something for someone. You may not get it - speaks volumes about the individual NOT you. You should embrace that you are a good person for doing something for another regardless.

3. Stop seeking the opinion of everyone before you make a decision that will improve your life. Consultative conversation from a person that has insight on how to move is one thing, but you don’t need permission to do what you need to do for yourself.

We need to stop romanticizing this. Pattern:
1. Seeking that love
2. Over give that ‘love’
3. It’s not remotely reciprocated
4. Get hurt and desperate
Then start the cycle all over again

We must heal from the trauma of not receiving love, being invisible, being neglected etc. THEN will we can see that we can’t ‘earn’ love and we our trauma response makes us unconsciously attach to folks that are emotionally unavailable.

Facts. Get help - trauma response doesn’t have to be your reality forever.
