Stop the Stress
Is Yesterday’s Abuse An Obstacle To Today’s Joy?
It doesn’t have to be!
Would your life be more joyful if you were experiencing less stress?
It can be.
Did you know that the legacy of childhood abuse is one of the greatest creators of stress in life? You’re probably not even aware of that.
Childhood Trauma Leaves a Legacy
We all experience childhood trauma. It may be something as simple as being dumped or ghosted by your best friend, it may be a horrific combination of physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse, or it may be something in between.
Regardless of the severity, it leaves a legacy. The greater the trauma, the more impactful the legacy.
A few people manage to shrug it off as readily as a snake sheds its skin. They are the exception. When you ignore the legacy and try to pretend it doesn’t exist, it may not have a conscious impact, but it definitely has an unconscious impact.
Are you aware that 90% of what drives your choices are things that happen on a subconscious level? Even though you may not be aware of it that legacy is very active. It will show up as
- anxiety
- depression
