Without even knowing it, trauma helps us to form walls - false belief systems - that will protect us
Without even knowing it, trauma helps us to form walls - false belief systems - that will protect us from that same pain in the future. . . We learn to avoid situations instead of abusive people. We want to avoid characteristics instead of behaviours. Our idea of a ‘red flag’ can become twisted. We develop fears that sound rational but are actually removed from the truth of what we experienced. . . We might otherwise blame situations or circumstances because putting the responsibility where it belongs (on people + behaviour) means that we need to adjust our boundaries… risking relationships or possibly having to take actions to end them. . . Fear weaves a wild web of false belief systems, road blocks, walls, veils, and madness. . . Thank you, Fear, for doing your best to protect me. I don’t need you anymore, in this situation. I’ve received your concerns and suggestions and decided that they don’t apply to these circumstances. (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1b3hA-gQ1g/?igshid=dg2x700xas6m -- source link
