Trauma rewires our experience the world.
As you all may or may not know about my approach to coaching is focusing on the intrinsic story and sensations. Because all circumstances are neutral. (If you havenāt heard this yet, hold your horses and hear me out).
To understand how and why you are guided in this world, you need to be your own cartographer. Mapping out the valleys, hills, and rivers of your life.
To do that, you need to understand that every circumstance (something that is happening outside your control) does not have power over how your view under you have a thought about it. We know this because not every single person will perceive every circumstance the same.
However. when we have trauma, our thoughts are not conscious enough. Our body learns that in order to survive a given situation, we need to have a quick response. And so the sensations in the body (our feelings/emotions) become instantaneous and we just react.
And even if you understand why you do something. That instinctual reaction (especially if it doesnāt serve you) is not helping you. Even though your brain may know something, your body (and heart) donāt so you tend to fall into the same patterns.
As my previous posts have said, we all have trauma. I want to challenge every one of you to SIT WITH THE FEELING that is triggered by something. It can be VERY unpleasant. But we want to train our minds to show that this feeling isnāt scary and that we will be ok.
(Obviously if youāre in an unsafe situation, please proceed accordingly. This is not an exercise to test fate, but to learn yourself better.)
