If, as a child, you experience prolonged adversity,

if you often felt that no one loved you or thought you were special, if a household member suffered with depression, mental illness or addiction, it was not your fault.  

​

As children, we had no control over the adverse childhood experiences (ACE's) we experienced.

 

These emotional traumas cause us to fragment a part of ourselves, leaving us feeling incomplete. 

​

Growing up, we experienced the world, and the world created our minds. We express, as an adult, all of these experiences. 

​

Adversity affects us differently and might leave you feeling anxious or panicky, you may feel hyper-vigilant or aggressive, maybe you're startled easily and can't seem to relax or feeling stuck in survival mode.

 

You may find it difficult to sleep, or feel constantly tired even after resting. It can affect our eating habits, our social skills and even cause us to withdraw.  It may also mean you struggle with trauma bonds and constantly find yourself in unhealthy relationships.  

​

 It can also cause feelings of sadness or

low self-worth, putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own, while having difficulty trusting yourself or listening to your intuition.

​

Everyday life can be exhausting, and if we don't know what we are dealing with, it can be difficult when triggers arise.
