✨🪷Acting in ways that conflict with our personal truths and values for the sake of gaining approval, love, or validation from others can indeed have a detrimental effect on our sense of self and authenticity.

✨When we compromise our values or mask our true self to fit in or be loved and accepted by others we inadvertently abandon ourselves and show ourselves a lack of love and acceptance, while trying to get it from others.

✨This type of self compromise destroys our authenticity and blocks us from attracting the right people into our lives; those that love and accept us for who we are.

✨In other words, we mask our true identity and become actors in someone else’s story, never playing the role that was really meant for us.

❤️‍🩹If this is you, I challenge you to take the first steps towards healing the abandonment wounds that have you trapped playing a role that wasn’t meant for you.

✨Codependency is a trauma response to not being seen, heard, nurtured, considered, or loved in a healthy way as a child.

✨It was developed as a way to get our needs for safety, love, and connection met as children.

✨In a dysfunctional, highly demanding, or chaotic home, a child will develop behavioral patterns and survival skills that are functional at the moment because they create safety and allow the child to survive.

✨As we practice these behaviors through time, they become habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Although these habitual ways of being were functional as children, they may be very destructive in our adult lives.

✨Healing, therefore, requires that we become aware of the survival skills we developed, which includes treating ourselves with self-compassion and understanding that we did our best as children to survive abnormal and dysfunctional family conditions while also learning new ways of being.

In the journey of healing, the first step is often the hardest - acknowledging that we need to heal.

It's easy to mask our pain, to bury our wounds under the hustle and bustle of daily life, but the truth is that healing begins when we give ourselves permission to feel, to understand, and to mend what has been broken. 💔

🌿 Let's not shy away from our own stories, from the chapters that hurt to read. It's in those very pages that our strength lies, waiting to be discovered.

🤗Let's embrace our vulnerabilities, for they are the gateways to our inner healing gardens.

🤔Remember, we cannot heal what we don't allow ourselves to heal, and we cannot heal what we don't allow for ourselves to feel.

❤️‍🩹Let's be gentle and compassionate with ourselves, creating space for growth, healing, and ultimately, for our transformation into our most authentic self. 💫

In this video, we'll be exploring the 9 signs of codependency and discussing whether you might be in a toxic relationship. Codependency is a pattern of behavior where one person relies on another for emotional or psychological needs, often to the detriment of both individuals involved.

If you find yourself constantly prioritizing your partner's needs above your own, feeling anxious or guilty when you try to assert your independence, or experiencing a lack of personal boundaries, you may be exhibiting signs of codependency.

Join us as we delve deeper into this complex issue and provide you with insight about what exactly codependency (love addiction) is. It's time to prioritize your own well-being and establish healthy boundaries for a happier and more fulfilling life.

If you resonate with any of these signs, know that you are not alone and that there is always help available. Take the first step towards healing and transformation by acknowledging the signs and seeking support. Remember, you deserve to be in a relationship that supports and empowers you, not one that drains you emotionally and triggers your abandonment wound.

💫✨As a psychotherapist specializing in trauma healing, I've witnessed the profound impact of embarking on the sacred healing journey towards uncovering one's authentic self and embracing inner truth.

❤️‍🩹In the realm of healing from trauma, this path is transformative, revealing the intricate layers of resilience that lie within.

❤️‍🩹True healing is not just about addressing psychological and emotional wounds; it's a profound process of self-discovery, exploring meaning, and unlocking the hidden strength and beauty within.

💪🏼Each step taken towards embracing one's authentic truth represents a courageous stride toward genuine healing, especially when our truth has been repressed.

🔎Of those people who actually choose to begin their healing journey through the use of psychotherapy, most report thinking about it for 5 to 10 years before making the life changing decision to begin.

✨I urge you to choose healing and transform your life.

✨I urge you to take a step forward into the light that healing can provide.

✨I urge you to choose truth and authenticity because you deserve it.

😫😖❌😵Emotional trauma, betrayal trauma, emotional neglect, and psychological abuse are all what I call the invisible trauma.

❌Because these are invisible, they are the easiest types of trauma to deny, minimize, and invalidate.

😵The sad thing is that when those who are supposed to take care of us and love us are the ones who inflict the trauma, we stop trusting our reality and may develop the habit of invalidating ourselves and denying our own truth.

💫Try to rising above through the use of mindfulness and raising self awareness of this habit, and then shift your focus to validating yourself and your truth❣️

💫Noone needs to agree with what you feel, see, and perceive for your experience to be valid❣️

❤️💫You matter and you have sufficient inner wisdom and intelligence making you capable of making good choices for yourself❣️

🎯A trauma trigger happens when our subconscious mind remembers a traumatic experience we once had when exposed to the trigger. This is a memory of what you absorbed through your senses when the traumatic experience happened, or shortly thereafter.

🎯The trigger can be something you see, smell, taste, touch, or hear.

🎯I have worked with people who are triggered by an Oreo cookie because when they were physically abused by a parent the Oreo cookies flew everywhere.

🎯I have seen people get triggered by the clock saying 5am because that was the time on the clock when they locked at it while being sexually abused.

🤔What happens is that anything picked up by our senses, at the moment of the trauma experience, is anchored by the emotion we experienced at that time. Then, going forward every time we experience that trauma trigger we automatically experience the emotion that is attached to the trauma trigger.

👉🏼Often includes:
❌Losing sense of time, space and/or self in that moment
❌Re-expiencing the emotion attached to the trigger in the same amplified way as when the incident occurred.
❌Re-experiencing the memory of what actually happened and feeling like it is happening all over again.
❌Emotional Distress
❌Suddenly experiencing nightmares following the trigger.

Understand, that these are subconscious triggers that you can regain power over once you gain awareness of them.

There is HOPE❤️ in the Healing process.

No one needs to remain in the trauma experience, especially when years have passed since it happened. You have the power to change your life by gaining awareness, stepping into the healing journey, and becoming the intentional creator of your life❣️

It is absolutely possible and you are worth Healing❣️
