Areas of life that could be negatively affected by our childhood wounds might be our relationships, our jobs, our money / finances, our health (mental / physical / emotional / spiritual), our mood, our attitude, our overall outlook on life, and so much more.
-Connecting with others and building a community of safety, vulnerability, compassion, non-judgement, and healing. *This is where some of the deepest healing can occur because we re-wire our internal neural networks for connection. Often these connections were severed or underdeveloped because we grew up in families where we were not validated or were not allowed to just be ourselves. We may have learned that it was unsafe to be vulnerable, to share openly, to express emotions, to speak our truth, etc. When we can witness and be witnessed in safe spaces, it creates healing on very deep levels for all involved.
