THIS TOO SHALL PASS –
March 2024 – I will never say that my trauma in childhood was a positive thing. In an ideal world there would be no such thing. However, for many of us it is a fact of life. Most of us have had some degree of trauma experience, some more significant than others and we all deal with it differently. It is scientifically accepted that our childhood experiences mould who we are in adulthood. That moulding looks very different for individuals also, even in people with similar traumatic experience. It’s no different for me. After many years of therapy I can recognise my trauma behaviours. What I have learned through childhood trauma has most definitely influenced me throughout my life. Those different lessons have shown up at different stages of my life, but it’s getting the trauma traits to work in your favour and together that makes the difference. There have been times when the same trait has been both negative and positive.
