Where the S.H.I.T. (Shame Hurt Insecurities Triggers) Comes FromChildhood Hurts become Adult Emotional Wounds Childhood Programming become Adult Perceptions Childhood Rejections become Adult Low Self-esteem Childhood Abuse become Adult Fears Childhood Insecurities become an Adult Insecurities Childhood Experiences become Adult Expectations As adults we are negatively impacted by the traumatic and toxic experiences of our childhood relationships. The emotional triggers we experience are the result of unhealed emotional wounds. Unhealed childhood emotional and physical traumas become adulthood dysfunction, disorders and struggles. Our internal fight or flight response causes us to either react or retreat. These tendencies to react and retreat often show up as dysfunction in our relationships and cause great disconnect. Our perception of love is based on what we were taught through what we saw as children. Our understanding of love and relationships through the eyes of our inner child is how we tend to show up in our relationships as adults. Dysfunction and broken childhood relationship experiences become the foundation of our adult relationships and if not addressed, and healed, show up as dysfunction and brokenness in our adult relationship experiences.

Transforming your External Relationships Begins WithinEvery relationship you have with others is an extension of your thoughts and beliefs about relationships. If you have unhealed trauma from childhood relationships, the residue (i.e. affects of the trauma) will show up in your relationship with others. Children need to feel that they are loved by their mothers and protected by their fathers. If a child doesn't feel loved by their mother they will struggle with self love, self value, and self acceptance. If your childhood relationship with your mother was fractured you may find it difficult to tap into the nurturing aspect of yourself and come across as being hardened or closed off. If a child doesn't feel protected by their father they struggle with feeling safe... emotionally, physically and spiritually. They tend to struggle with insecurity and feeling exposed. The mother fosters the internal while the father covers the external. Addressing and healing your emotional wounds is definitely beneficial first to you, and by extension your relationship with others.
