Trauma is not “just in your head” — it literally changes how the brain functions.

When someone has lived through overwhelming experiences, their nervous system adapts to survive. That means:

🧠 The thinking brain (prefrontal cortex) struggles to stay online
🗣 Words can disappear when trying to explain what happened
🚨 The amygdala stays on high alert, scanning for danger
🧩 Memory can feel confusing, with the past feeling like it’s happening right now

These are not personal failures.
They are survival responses from a body and brain that did their best to protect you.

Healing isn’t about “being stronger.”
It’s about gently teaching the nervous system that the danger is over and safety is possible again.

You are not broken.
Your brain learned to survive. And it can learn safety too. 💛

🧩 SITT MED KÄNSLAN

Sit with the feeling.
Not fix it. Not push it away. Not distract yourself from it.
Just sit with it.

This means allowing an emotion to be there without immediately reacting, judging, or trying to escape. When sadness, anger, shame, anxiety, or loneliness show up, the nervous system often wants to run — into overthinking, scrolling, people-pleasing, shutting down, or self-criticism. Sitting with the feeling is the opposite of that reflex.

It’s the practice of saying:
🫶 “Something is happening inside me, and I’m willing to notice.”

You observe what you feel in your body.
You name the emotion.
You let it exist without calling it “too much,” “dramatic,” or “wrong.”

That pause is powerful.

Because emotions that are avoided don’t disappear — they get stored in the body, leak out sideways, or run your behaviour from the background. But emotions that are felt safely move. They rise, peak, and soften. This is how emotional processing happens.

Sitting with a feeling builds:
✨ emotional regulation
✨ self-trust
✨ nervous system safety
✨ less reactivity
✨ more compassion toward yourself

It teaches your system: “I can survive my inner world.”
And that’s where real healing starts.

You don’t need to do it perfectly. Even 30 seconds of noticing is a step toward freedom.

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. 🌿
