You’ve a right to live your life your way. You’ve a right to understand that first thought and feeling that you have is really what you want to do, and it’s possible to let go of the doubts, internal chatter and those flashbacks. In other words, you’re not that child any more. You deserve to live without fear, without constant dread looking over your shoulder. It is possible. It is possible when you start to see things clearly for what they were. Back when you leaned to play it small, you were doing the best you could with what you had available at the time. Those beliefs you made back then no longer serve you. You deserve to feel safe to express yourself freely and easily with your partner, work colleague, or whoever it might be. You ought to be able to sleep soundly each night. You’ll come to realise you were doing the best you were able to do at that time, and now you’re older, wiser and make better decisions. You deserve to be able to let go of the conditioning and experiences dished out by other hurt people, perhaps parents, teachers, sibblings, caregivers. The fact is these were hurt themselves. You can learn how to break the cycle of abuse, trauma and loss. The Inner Peace Process will show you how.
