Moving on from a Traumatic Childhood
You can still live life to the fullest
Childhood trauma, aka abuse, of any kind, leaves its victims with many symptoms that interfere with their daily lives. However, these disruptive behaviors are treatable, and one can overcome a traumatic childhood.
This piece will discuss overcoming childhood trauma and moving on.
Getting Stuck
It is not uncommon for adults who experienced childhood abuse to get stuck in their victimhood. Those afflicted seem to find themselves living in their trauma and unable to move on.
Healing from childhood trauma takes time and many who were abused feel when they enter therapy that their therapist should have all the answers and get discouraged when they realize that they will not heal overnight.
Getting unstuck requires insight into behaviors that are holding the survivor back and limiting their ability to move on. Too often, survivors find themselves stuck and feel powerless to change their situation.
Some survivors identify so much with victimhood that it becomes their identity. Thus, they are unwilling to give up their internal feelings of victimhood.
