Trauma Blocks Everything You Desire

See this content in the original post

Trauma is the only thing that separates us from everything we desire. 

Trauma is separation from our life force energy. It’s what happens when we have experiences that we don’t have the capacity to be present for.

There are obvious traumas — the things we all know are difficult.  

And then there is the moment-by-moment way that life nudges us out of our own power, our own authenticity. 

Ultimately, we are all traumatized to greater and lesser extents through fear and insecurity into living lives that are not our own.

“It's our aliveness, which is what creates in the world, which is what attracts to us the people and the things that give our lives so much meaning, and when we have a lot of trauma, we don't have as much aliveness.”
