Trauma didn't Break You, it Trained You
Welcome
The strategies we depend on, to survive stress-filled childhoods change us on a biological level. As a result, we developed some hard-won skills, that we ought to use to our advantage.
Unless we use those hard-won skills regularly, they subconsciously compel us to self-sabotage, catastrophize and think the worst about... well... everything
Achilles heel or superpower.
Learn to leverage your innate skills in ways that make you fulfilled! When environment suits training, something magical happens.
We experience for a fact, we possess a skill set that is not just useful, but indispensable in some really bad spots. All you need to do, to not feel broken, is find and use them.
Which means, you don't need to "fix" yourself. You're not broken! You're just not in the right environment for you to use your skills!
Getting upset at yourself for not being like everyone else, is like getting mad at a goldfish for not being able to climb a tree.
The goldfish is just fine as he is. He just isn't designed to be an arborist.
I used to think I needed to heal all of my trauma before I could succeed. Now I am beginning to see how I can use my trauma in ways that benefit my life. Rethinking Broken has given me the tools to re-frame how I look at my issues and turn them into superpowers. I'm very excited for the rest of the world to receive this gem!
