I recently said that childhood trauma, CPTSD, and abuse is both the cause and the solution to many of our problems in life. As a trauma coach, my job is to help you do what I have to do, and that is to figure out the underlying reason behind what is happening in your life. Of course, you may be wondering how a childhood filled with adverse experiences can be beneficial in the world. I don't look at this as something that makes your life better when I say solution I mean that understanding our past gives us the leverage and ability to change our present and future. The choices that we make in life are often a reflection of your past.
Most trauma survivors don't recognize that it is our past experiences in mental, emotional, and physical abuse that lead us to where we are today. We are faced with living out the path that others laid in place of us, or worse; we don't understand that we can create change in our lives. We often leverage our past experiences to cop out of accountability and personal responsibility because let's face it; it is much easier to play the victim than it is to be the hero. I know that from personal experience.
In this video, I talk about the power of understanding how your past experiences can be causing CPTSD, dissociation, unknown illnesses, and lack of personal power, and why educating yourself about the impact of your past is how you move through it.
