@dr.gbailey: If you came from a toxic family, these promises can haunt you in adulthood by creating inner conflicts and perpetuating emotional wounds. Vowing "I will never be like my parents" may lead to intense self-scrutiny and fear of repeating their behaviors, which can hinder your personal growth and self-acceptance. The pledge "I will never marry somebody like my dad" might result in distrust or avoidance of intimate relationships, impacting your ability to form healthy partnerships. Deciding "I will never have kids" could stem from a fear of perpetuating familial toxicity, potentially denying you the joy of parenthood if rooted in unresolved trauma. Lastly, declaring "I will never get married" might reflect a reluctance to commit due to mistrust or fear of vulnerability, limiting your capacity for deep emotional connections. These promises, made in response to past trauma, can shape your beliefs and choices, often subconsciously, influencing your happiness and fulfillment in adulthood. #childhoodtrauma #generationaltrauma #cyclebreakers #cyclebreaker #fightorflight #emotionalregulation #regulateemotions #emotionfocusedtherapy #eft #healing #emotionalregulation #emotionsmatter ⁠#shame #emotionalwellbeing #emotoinalsupport ⁠ #emotions #selfhealers #psychology ⁠ #psychologist #psychologymadesimple ⁠ #therapy #MentalHealth #coping #therapist #couplestherapy #feelings #feelyourfeelings #emotionaldamage
