Childhood Trauma: Can Childhood Trauma Set Someone Up To Leave Their Body?

There are a number of things that someone can do when they feel overwhelmed and are unable to handle what is going on. They can get away from what is taking place or they can get away from themselves. If the former takes place, it can show that what is going on exte ally is the problem. Therefore, by getting away from what is taking place, they will be able to settle down again. A Different Scenario

Disconnected: Can Developmental Trauma Cause A Big Part Of Someone To Be Split Off?

Even though someone will look whole and complete on the outside, it doesn’t mean that they will feel whole and complete on the inside. When it comes to their inner experience, they can feel cut off and as though they lack substance. Then again, how they experience life can just be what is normal, and this means that they won’t be consciously aware of it. Nonetheless, being this way won’t stop them from living a life that is anything but fulfilling. The Norm

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Why Does A Mother-Enmeshed Man Feel Guilty For Putting His Needs First?

Although a man will have his own needs to meet, he could spend most of his time meeting his mother’s needs. As a result of this, he is going to neglect most, if not all of his own needs. However, this is something that can take place without him even being aware of the fact that he is largely neglecting himself. So, in general, he could meet his basic needs, such as his need to sleep and eat. Totally Disregarded

The Media: Does The Mainstream Media Create The Impression That We Are Just Observers Of Reality?

If someone has ever been exposed to the mainstream media, which they most likely will have been if they are on this planet, they may realise that this source generally focuses on the same things. So, irrespective of whether they were to pay attention to this source now or if they were to think about what it was like in the past, the theme will be the same.

Critical Thinking: Can Someone Change The World By Healing Themselves?

When it comes to changing what is taking place in the world, the general approach is for someone to take action. This will give them the chance to do something about what is going on. And, as far as they are conce ed, this could be seen as the only way for them to make a difference. If they don’t take action, then, they will be forfeiting their chance to make a difference.

Boundaries: Can Someone Build Walls Around Themselves If They Were Abused As A Child?

What someone may find, if they were to reflect on their life, is that it is hard for them to get close to others. In general, they may prefer to keep their distance and only have surface-level connections. Due to this, they could often feel lonely and yearn to have closer connections with others. Naturally, only getting so close to others is going to deprive them of the depth that they crave. Empty Interactions

Critical Thinking: Is It Time For Humanity To Create A New Story?

When it comes to what is taking place in the world, the mainstream media is at hand to inform people. This source generally creates the impression that what they have to say is the truth. Most, if not all, of what this source focuses on is negative and so, if someone spends a lot of time consuming what this source comes out with, it is not going to be a surprise if they have a very negative view of the world. Another consequence of this is that they can feel very low and believe that they are powerless to do anything about what is going on. Stepping Back

Inner Child: Can Someone’s Inner Child Create Their Reality?

If someone’s life isn’t very fulfilling and they want this to change, they could end up looking for answers. After doing this, they could end up taking a closer look at what is going on in their mind and focus on their behaviour. At this point, they can believe that changing what is going on up top and altering their behaviour will allow them to transform their life. This will be a viewpoint that is supported by numerous people in both the real world and online. A Process

Transference: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To See Other People As Their Parents?

First off, regardless of whether or not someone experienced a lot of trauma during their early years, they are going to engage in transference. It could be said that this is just something that human beings do. The difference is that if someone has experienced a lot of trauma, this is likely to be something that will have a more disruptive influence on their life. A very simple way of looking at the defence mechanism known as transference would be to say that it is what takes place when one sees another person as being the same as someone from their early years. An Automatic Process

Honour Your Own Healing Journey

Maybe you have been on the healing path for a number of years now or maybe you have only just started out. Either way, what you may find is that you have the tendency to compare your own life with others. Let’s say that you are working through some heavy stuff at the moment and someone else appears to be having a great time. Not only this, they may appear to have it all together. The Contrast

Self-Awareness: Is This Year A New Beginning?

When a year ends and another year begins, it is often seen as being a new beginning. What took place for someone in the previous year will be behind them and they will have the chance to create a very different life. To be reminded of this, they will only have to look at down at their watch or Smartphone, for instance. The information that is provided by something like this will make it crystal clear that they have started a new year and that now is the time for them to be clear about the life that they want to live and to do what they can to make this a reality.

Childhood Trauma: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Believe That It Isn’t Safe Enough To Exist?

Although someone could live somewhere that is relatively safe and secure, it doesn’t mean that they will realise this at the core of their being. As a result of how they behave and live their life, it will be as though they are living in a very dangerous environment. But, even though this is something that may stand out to the outside observer, it might not stand out for them. Instead, how they experience life could just be what is normal and thus, they might not be able to see what is going on. The Normr

Racing Thoughts: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Have Racing Thoughts?

At this point in time, and perhaps this has been the case for quite some time, one could be in a position where their mind is often out of control. To use an analogy: it will be as though their thinking brain is a human being who drinks a lot of energy drinks. This part of them is generally going to be all over the place, and it will be operating at a very fast pace. Naturally, experiencing life in this way is going to be incredibly exhausting.

Critical Thinking: Are Human Beings Just Observers Of Reality?

If someone lives in the western world, or in a country that has been heavily influenced by it, they will probably see themselves as just an observer of their reality. So, in the same way that they will just view what is on a screen, they will also just view what is taking place around them. They may, or may not, accept that there are certain things that they can control in their life but everything else will be outside of their control. If they do, they could even believe that most of their power lies in how they respond to what happens to them. The Alte ative

Emotionally Disconnected: Can A Crisis Allow Someone To Connect To Their True Feelings?

If someone is going through a very challenging period, there is the chance that they will have a lot going on internally. As to why this stage of their life is challenging, it could be due to a number of different reasons. They might have just gone through a breakup, lost their job or fallen out with a friend or family member, for instance. When it comes to what is taking place internally, this could be a time when they feel overwhelmed. A Closer Look

Child Abuse: Can Child Abuse Cause Someone To Have A Fear Of Life?

Although someone will have been given the gift of life, it doesn’t mean that they will see their life as a gift. Thanks to how they generally experience life, it could be seen as a curse and as something that they have to endure. What this can show is that they have the tendency to experience a fair amount of fear and anxiety. If so, they might often isolate themselves from others and only go out when they have to. One Area

Like a car without an engine, a man could spend a lot of his time sitting around and doing very little. For the car to move it will probably need to be pushed, that is unless, of course, there is an earthquake, for instance. For him to move, it might generally take an exte al force. That can mean that he will need a friend or a family member to suggest something or the fear of what may happen if he doesn’t do something might be enough. One Area

Being Seen: Can Developmental Trauma Give Someone A Strong Need To Be Seen?

Having the need to be seen is a normal part of life; this is part of being an independent human being. Nonetheless, someone can have such a strong need to be seen that it consumes them. As a result of this, if they are not doing what they can to receive attention, they can be thinking of ways to receive attention. Now, this could be something that they are aware of, or it could be something that is outside of their conscious awareness. The Outcome

Critical Thinking: Is Humanity Too Traumatised To Care About The Environment?

In recent years, there has been an intense focus on the environment and the damage that is being done to it. This is an area that the mainstream media, Hollywood and even the British royal family routinely covers. Considering the magnitude of what is going on, it is a good thing that each of these sources are doing this. Still, it has been hard for a lot of people to stomach having certain celebrities talk about the impact that fossil fuels are having, for instance, whilst they travel around the world on their private jet.

Mother Wounds: Can A Man See His Needs As A Burden If He Had An Unavailable Mother?

What a man may find is that, in general, he is out of touch with a number of his needs. As a result of this, he could typically be aware of his physical needs but that could be about as far as it will go. Therefore, his emotional needs are going to largely be overlooked and he might rarely even be aware of them. When it comes to these needs, it will relate to his need for love, intimacy, acceptance and attention, among other things. Up Top

Shamed-Based Identity: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Be Shame-Based?

For some people, shame is something that they experience every now and then and, when they do, it typically doesn’t hang around for very long. For others, shame is something that they experience on a regular basis and, when they do, it can typically hang around for a very long time. When it comes to the former, this will just be another feeling that someone experiences. Yet, when it comes to the latter, this won’t just be another feeling that someone experiences; it will be a feeling that is more or less always experienced. A Miserable Existence

Boundaries: Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Build Walls Around Themselves?

In general, someone could prefer to spend time by themselves and when they are around others, they could have the tendency to lose who they are. When they are in their own company, then, they could have a fairly strong connection with their inner world and feel free to do just about whatever they choose to do. However, when they are around others, they could automatically lose touch with their inner world and go along with what other people want. Thanks to this, it is not going to be much of a surprise if they prefer to spend time by themselves. A Bleak Existence

When it comes to what someone’s life is like, there are at least two things that will play a part. Firstly, there will be what is taking place in their mind, and secondly, there will be their behaviour. Nonetheless, what is taking place in their mind will be the most important part, as what is taking place here will affect how they behave and how they perceive their life. Naturally, how they perceive something will influence how they respond. A Common Saying

However, although this will cause him to neglect his own life, it doesn’t mean that he will be aware of this. One Purpose

Critical Thinking: Is The Feminine Seen As Being Inferior To The Masculine In Today’s World?

In most, if not all societies around the world there is typically a focus on the doing, so taking action and getting things done. As a result of this, the other side of this, the being, is rarely given much consideration. It is often as though the only thing that matters is achieving things and becoming more successful, at least in the material sense. If then, someone spends a lot of time doing things and they are becoming more ‘successful’ in the process, they can be seen as living in the right way by a lot of people. A Different Experience

It could be said that there are at least three types of people; those who are connected to their mental and emotional self, those who have a weak connection to their mental self and those who have a weak connection to their emotional self. Naturally, the ideal will be for someone to be connected to both parts. This will enable them to both think clearly and to feel deeply connected to others and to life itself, among other things.

The Media: Does The Mainstream Media Only Have As Much Power As We Give Them?

A number of years ago, the mainstream media, along with other sources, came out and said that ‘fake news’ was a problem. One way of looking at this would be to say that this was something that was said after certain things didn’t go as this source, and those behind the scenes, wanted. Thus, it was not that this source was actually conce ed that people would be misinformed; it was conce ed that they would have the wrong information.

For some people, usually, those who are into self-development or study psychology, for example, defence mechanisms are something that they are familiar with. This is not to say that they will always be aware of when they are using one or a few of them, though. It simply means that they will have an understanding of what they are and why they are used, which will give them the ability to know when they are utilising one or more of them. Thanks to this, it will be a lot easier for them to take responsibility for their own pain and to deal with it. Under The Radar
