Trauma can really hurt your kids….and you
More and more studies are being carried out on the effects of trauma.
Let’s think about it from this perspective….
“Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside because of what happened to you” (Dr Gabo Mate. One of my hero’s)
In relation to kids, we have bullying, aggression through physical force, name calling, being left out, not being asked to a party when everyone else has can all create a negative force in kids that will cultivate over the short, medium, and long term. Yes, we all must take a few hits in life, however if they happen when we are young and are continuous then there will be consequences.
The issue arises when kids are hurt on a regular basis. Trauma builds layers and the more layers, the more difficult they are to separate and dissolve.
Trauma when you are young can be devastating when you are older. We have people commenting on our sites that they are still sad, unhappy, nervous, and lonely all because of the trauma they experienced when they were as young as 5 years old. This is heartbreaking to hear.
Imagine not being able to talk about or even understand why you feel like you feel. You know something happened when you were young, however, you had no courage or strength to talk about it. The same issue is still in place decades later.
Then if that wasn’t enough for you to handle along comes repressed feelings. We then start thinking about ourselves on a whole New Low Level.
Trauma has many different disguises.
We need to find it, call it out and slow it down.
This is possible and I will help you.
