When you live the same reality over and over again, you believe it is the real deal. Then you slowly observe others experience different realities than yours. Comparing yourself to others, you start to doubt yourself. You think that based on others’ standards, you are not good enough, you are not ahead of the crowd enough, there is nothing that could make you content about yourself and the life you live.

Do you know what the child inside you need?
Trauma has its’ own way to be assessed. When we start to walk on the path of healing, we come across many things that seemed normal at that time. Without failure, we still think those things are normal years after they happened because that was the only reality we knew. For example, a lot of yelling and violence happened in my family since I was little. Normally, I would grow up thinking that violence was normal, it was the way a family worked. No fighting = no love, that sort of thing. However, we can be identifying ourselves with our experiences or anti-identifying. My experiences were one example in a multitude of less dangerous ones, and my brain decided that anti-identifying was the best mechanism of survival. Plus, I got extra points for not falling into the same trap as my family. Those issues you have at the moment in different areas of your life come from those experiences. Your subconscious mind does not hide anything that you haven’t experienced before.

How does the mental healing start?
Before I describe the moment you will know your healing process starts, I will tell you a bit about myself. I was born in a relatively unstable family, which looked pretty normal if you were looking from the outside, but then life happened, and it got worse and worse. I grew up confused, deeply sad and it looked like nothing worked my way. I was struggling in all areas of life, family, relationship, career, all you can think of. I had no idea what planet I was living on and what purpose I had. Despite the misfortune, anxiety, depression and other things going into my past life, I always had a huge amount of curiosity and hunger for self-improvement. I don't know why I was attracted by that and I don't remember when exactly it started, and probably you don't know the reason behind your search either, but you are looking for answers.
