Meet the master of disguise, the biggest saboteur of all time!
It lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce on any opportunity to make you doubt yourself, stay small, and never leave your comfort zone.
Number 2 on my list of 10 most common toxic patterns, beliefs, and fears that childhood trauma/emotional neglect leaves us with - 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐓 & 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅-𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐄
How often do you catch yourself thinking:
"𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡'
"𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑢𝑙𝑡"
'𝐼 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 (𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟, 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟, 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟...)'
" 𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑦 (𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑, 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑜𝑚, 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓...)'
"𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑎 𝑏𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛"

❓fear making any mistake,
❓feel powerless,
❓and believe we do not deserve the things we long for
is one of the most persistent aftermaths of childhood trauma and emotional neglect
