@thetrishawolfe: It can feel confusing to recognize the ways that we did not get met as children. We can have had a good childhood or felt loved in some ways and still have experienced misattunement, attachment ruptures, etc. it’s often hard to recognize ways our environment may have negatively impacted us, but the truth is all of us come out of childhood with specific learnings about what our roles are where we get our value from and how we should behave in the world. These learning is impact the way we relate to ourselves and others, and what we believe is possible. And we develop strategies as a result that might look like intellectualization, perfectionism, people, pleasing, over functioning, etc. exploring this doesn’t mean you have to put your parents on trial or to discover that you actually had a bad childhood but instead, it means getting curious about what you learned about the world and examining if that is true in the present and if it’s serving you now. #developmentaltrauma #emotionallyimmatureparents #experientialtherapy #intellectualization #overthinking
