Childhood trauma is real. It affects our nervous system, energy, expectations, view of ourselves. We vow not to repeat some patterns and behaviours we experience growing up, and to a certain extent, we succeed. Then there are the reactions we can’t seem to control. The triggers that touch a sore place that is deep inside. We become reactive, defensive, protective, and we might feel out of control. Childhood trauma will come up in your romantic relationship because it is often your most intimate relationship. It is where the relational wounds are acted out again. This is where there is an opportunity for deep healing. When you are ready to step into that space of deep healing, your inner child is waiting for you with an open heart. Yearning to be cared for by you.
