We talk about freedom of speech; we say that humans are free to say anything but then we abuse children so that they become silent; we shame women so their voices are never heard and then, we expect women to speak up for their rights.
The gender-shaming we live with is so subtle, so ingrained in our psyche that we never feel “good enough” and when we face situations that we don’t want, we’d rather suffer and not say anything.

Survivors of Childhood abuse live with a sense of “un-safety” that is at the core of all the symptoms of Trauma. If we understand how this sense of “not feeling safe” gets triggered, we can start the journey of healing and re-balancing ourselves.
Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to choose in the moment whether to exercise control? Wouldn’t it be nice to develop an internal sense of safety…
Do you have an inherent need for control? Is that the only way you feel safe? What type of control do you practice? Do you know that there is another way?
