Most of the time, what we’re dealing with isn’t random.
There’s usually a root.
These are core wounds,early or impactful experiences that quietly shape how we feel, react, and move through life.
When we identify the core wound, we can then work through everything that grew from it, including:
• stored and suppressed emotions
• fears and survival responses
• limiting beliefs and inner stories
• protective mechanisms (people-pleasing, shutting down, over-functioning, avoidance)
• identity roles learned to stay safe
• nervous system patterns (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
• soul fragments or parts that checked out during overwhelm
• deeper imprints held at a soul level
• repeated patterns and behaviours that keep looping
Many core wounds form early in life, when we’re still wiring our sense of safety, self, and belonging.
Others are created later through loss, trauma, shock, or long-term emotional stress.
Some common core wounds and how they can affect us:
• Rejection → people-pleasing, fear of being seen, abandoning yourself
• Abandonment → attachment anxiety, fear of being alone, over-giving
• Not feeling safe → hypervigilance, control, nervous system overwhelm
• Being unseen or unheard → throat tension, self-doubt, shrinking your truth
• Feeling “too much” → emotional suppression, shame, self-editing
• Feeling unworthy → over-working, perfectionism, never feeling enough
• Being blamed or shamed → self-criticism, chronic guilt, holding tension in the body
• Loss or sudden shock → freeze responses, disconnection, numbness
I’m really excited to begin tapping into these more deeply within sessions soon 🐛🦋✨
