Whenever you start to feel ashamed of sharing your feelings and being vulnerable with someone, take a moment to show yourself compassion. Talk to yourself kindly and label your survival response by recognizing what you’re experiencing. This might look like saying to yourself, “It makes sense I'm over-analyzing because I've been dismissed or betrayed in the past. I'm going to be gentle with myself as I build healthier relationships and friendships.” Practice Grounding and Mindfulness Vulnerability hangovers live in the unknown out of your control. You can’t control what others think of you, but you can learn to ground yourself in the present moment and mindfulness techniques to help calm your anxiousness. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/breaking-free-from-childhood-patterns-a-millennial-womans-guide-to-reparenting monthly 0.5 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/b4305f64-447b-4819-98f7-2fe331fff81c/1.png Blog - Breaking Free From Childhood Patterns: a millennial woman’s guide to reparenting Childhood patterns are behaviors or narratives that we learned in our developmental years that are lingering in adulthood, and often wreaking havoc on our happiness and well-being. These can include things like people-pleasing, emotional suppression, believing that you are not good enough or that you cannot trust anyone. These behaviors are often survival responses that we learned in childhood. For example, you may learned to people please when around your emotionally immature parent in order to avoid reaction or conflict. Or you may have began to suppress your emotions in order to avoid feeling like “a burden” to the people around you. Growing up with emotionally immature parents impacts our well being in adulthood in multiple ways. The unpredictability can create hyper-vigilance, anxiety and feelings of powerlessness or helplessness. The conditional love can create feelings of worthlessness and an intense fear of rejection or abandonment in interpersonal relationships. The constant criticism and guilt trips can create the belief that you are responsible for everything and also a burden for having your own needs, opinions or emotions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/0d4119a1-a1e1-4aad-9e77-56824bd10b64/2.png Blog - Breaking Free From Childhood Patterns: a millennial woman’s guide to reparenting - Reparenting is becoming the protective, nurturing and wise figure for yourself that you never got from your caregiver(s). It is a combination of exploring your childhood and adolescence to gain understanding and providing the things for yourself that have been unmet. Reparenting is such a critical part of healing because it allows you to actively change your narrative and the patterns that are keeping you stuck in childhood survival responses. It allows you to begin finding internal validation, safe and supportive interpersonal relationships and a stable and secure environment that is conducive for growth. It is an act of breaking generational cycles. As you reparent yourself, you begin healing emotional wounds and developing a healthier self-image. If you grew up neglecting yourself in order to prioritize your parent and prevent rejection, then as an adult reparenting may be prioritizing your own needs over gaining approval from others. This allows you to begin healing the wound that “other people’s needs are more important than my own” and you begin to see yourself as someone worthy of the love and care that you give her. Or maybe you grew up suppressing your emotions in order to avoid feeling like a burden. So as an adult, you reparent yourself by beginning to name your emotions, allow them and express them to people that you trust. This allows you to begin healing the wound that you are “too much” and build safe relationships with people who are emotionally available and supportive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/6579520f-485c-4d2c-9564-8113c0eb701a/Untitled+design+%2831%29.png Blog - Breaking Free From Childhood Patterns: a millennial woman’s guide to reparenting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/aa826eef-fca0-47b9-ad07-fe4af2edf94f/Untitled+design+%2832%29.png Blog - Breaking Free From Childhood Patterns: a millennial woman’s guide to reparenting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/the-hidden-struggles-of-daughters-raised-by-emotionally-immature-parents monthly 0.5 2024-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/99167641-87d0-451c-b429-287d9df7a1bf/Untitled+design+%2827%29.png Blog - The Hidden Struggles of Daughters Raised by Emotionally Immature Parents Emotionally immature parents are individuals who lack the emotional intelligence, empathy and maturity needed to effectively meet the emotional needs of their children.

You assess what is still needed, what is outdated, unhelpful or even harmful. Spring cleaning involves opening up the windows and allowing fresh air and newness to pour in. It’s an act of nurturing ourselves and our space so that we can evolve, just like the seasons. When we do this, we feel renewed and hopeful for all that the season will bring us. Healing from childhood trauma is a similar process. And just as important for your soul. Unresolved childhood wounds negatively impact our relationships with other people and with ourselves, making us believe that we are not good enough, that we are defective or even that we are unlovable. These beliefs are a reflection of the trauma we experienced, not a true reflection of who we are. They can keep us stuck in unhealthy or toxic patterns that we learned while we were in survival mode - like self-sabotage, self-neglect, substance abuse or people pleasing. Processing the unresolved emotional baggage can help you move away from survival and into thriving and connecting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/9d2dbf85-3c68-430a-8bc5-5980801cd15c/Untitled+design+%2818%29.png Blog - Spring Cleaning for the Soul : Healing from Emotional Baggage of Childhood Trauma  1. Acknowledge the Impact: Before we can begin the process of letting go, its important to acknowledge the profound impact that past hurts and self-limiting beliefs had on our lives. Whether it's the pain of past betrayal, rejection or invalidation or the internalized messages of unworthiness and inadequacy, these wounds shape our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. 2. Cultivating Self-Compassion: Self-compassion is the foundation of healing. By offering ourselves the same kindness, understanding and acceptance that we would offer a dear friend, we can begin to soften the sharp edges of self-judgement and criticism. Practice self-compassionate affirmations, engage in nurturing self-care activities and embrace the imperfect beauty of your journey. 3. Forgiving Yourself: Forgiveness is a gift that we give ourselves. By releasing the burden of resentment and anger towards ourselves, we free up space in our hearts for healing and growth. Reflect on the ways that holding grudges and grievances has kept you stuck and consider the liberating power of forgiveness in moving forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/c0702b50-a823-4296-9417-520fd5a48eca/Untitled+design+%2819%29.png Blog - Spring Cleaning for the Soul : Healing from Emotional Baggage of Childhood Trauma  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/5-habits-that-are-not-helping-your-anxious-attachment monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/0bcf40cc-f5a1-4c79-820c-8b729fd4e498/Untitled+design+%2814%29.png Blog - 5 Habits That Are Not Helping Your Anxious Attachment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/6303a9b6-8151-4d79-ace7-03deae3c0837/Untitled+design+%2816%29.png Blog - 5 Habits That Are Not Helping Your Anxious Attachment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/a-millennials-guide-to-inner-child-healing-in-the-new-year-12-ways-to-nurture-little-you monthly 0.5 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/1af1bb7a-763f-4559-af60-e4f431ba7292/Untitled+design+%285%29.jpg Blog - A Millennials Guide to Inner Child Healing in the New Year: 12 ways to nurture little you - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/5ada508c-9e47-4c66-9c83-7c2c58294b7c/Untitled+design+%284%29.jpg Blog - A Millennials Guide to Inner Child Healing in the New Year: 12 ways to nurture little you - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/navigating-new-holiday-traditions-dysfunctional-family-edition monthly 0.5 2023-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/6a52c6f5-2873-4322-868c-163577eb6289/Untitled+design.jpg Blog - Creating New Holiday Traditions When You’re From A Dysfunctional Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/fb3ef293-d5c1-4ed5-822c-cb1f6a2981c8/Untitled+design+%282%29.jpg Blog - Creating New Holiday Traditions When You’re From A Dysfunctional Family - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/childhoodtraumaandyournervoussystem-sjkxe monthly 0.5 2023-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bedc5579936b57dfa0ffa3/d8931739-f895-4d82-88ba-ed4ec55cbfbe/blog+post.png Blog - Childhood Trauma and your Nervous System: Finding Safety in your Body Regulating your nervous system means establishing a sense of safety in your body. It means being attuned to changes and cues, such as increased heart rate, racing thoughts, or feeling invisible. Being attuned and connected to these sensations allows you to feel more control over your responses to different situations. When we get into a survival response, we lose our ability to think critically and focus on engaging socially. We feel disconnected from the people around us and disconnected from ourselves. We lose our capacity to problem solve and look at the big picture. We often become reactive because our body is telling us that we need to protect ourselves instead of connect to the people around us. Without the ability to regulate your nervous system, your health is negatively impacted. Back pain, stomach issues, fatigue and body tension are common if you are frequently going in and out of your window of tolerance. Your social relationships are impacted because you may be reactive, shut down or replay past traumas in current situations. Mental health suffers also, with increased negative self-talk, feelings of helplessness and difficulty reaching out for support. In this blog post, we’ll walk through ways to identify if you are moving into a survival response so that you can start to regulate yourself. You’ll also learn about your window of tolerance and how to stay there in times of stress. https://www.nightingalewellnesstherapy.com/blog/tag/mental+health monthly 0.5
