Childhood trauma
Who hasn’t experienced this?
Our traumas and life in our childhood homes have shaped us to who we are today and the decisions we make based on feelings that were solidified in those impressionable years. Doing the following can bring more love and healing and protection to the memories you had in your childhood. This then empowers and helps you own your own childhood and all decisions you’ve made since.
Grab a box of tissues or a hanky as this is a powerful visual in returning yourself to feeling loved and protected in your own childhood.

*Read then take as much time as you need.
Go to your childhood home where all the trauma happened.
See it. See how it is smaller than you remember it being. Or in some cases, bigger as you really look at it now from seasoned eyes.
Then walk to the door, opening it all the way, walking throughout the house looking for your little Self. Search for yourself as you may be hiding. You may call your name- nothing can harm you now so you can make noise.
When you find your little version of Self, bend down and say:
“I see you. I love you. I’ll take care of you from now on. You are safe with me.”
Then hold out your hand for little you to grab and start walking together. Hand in hand gently guide your little self outside the door you entered.
Once a feeling of being a safe distance from the house (perhaps past the driveway or a few houses down) every 10 steps or so look back and see it get smaller.
Keep walking further away until the home is small or until you feel centered and safe. Then hug your little You as tight as you can and tell them you love them. And that you are her/him. And you both made it out alive.

Be your biggest fan.
Accept all that has ever transpired until now. Embrace it. Let it flow through you on its way out. The only way out is through. Own it all but let it all be what it was.
Well done. You did it.
Now a deep breath in and pause at the top for 1… 2… 3…
…exhale slowly and Let It Be…
