The world is always sending us 2 messages which is especially true when we are young:
1- It will overwhelm you. Or …
2- It will abandon you.
Another way of putting that is for the world to say, “I am big and you are not.”
Without a proper and balanced childhood one would feel powerless to some extent. This would cause them to either stay separate from the world and grow up with a victim complex, or, to try to side with the world and become a part of the power, the bully.
Therapy, talking, groups and journalling all help to give you newer, more up-to-date and accurate messages to replace those of the distant past, that have such a hold on us still.
Seeing the abuse, abandonment, neglect and even your own contribution to it all as an adult, through your adult lens, helps to begin the healing.
