We were all raised in what some consider the “Emotional Dark Ages.” As children (and even into adulthood), most of us didn’t have the support we needed to understand our emotions. Our parents most likely didn’t have these understandings either, which most likely can be traced back to their parents’ upbringing, and so on, and so forth. If you are reading this and doing the inner work on yourself, consider yourself a generational self-healer. You can take the reins and break these emotional patterns simply by bringing awareness, gentleness, and love to them. This is how we can step in and reparent ourselves.
Having this emotional awareness, especially around our most challenging experiences, patterns, and behaviors, can evoke so much deep healing. It allows us to see our patterns and challenges from a witnessing frame of perspective. It also allows us to get to the root of certain challenges, patterns, or feelings that arise often or repetitively in our realities.
When we allow ourselves to emerge from the Emotional Dark Ages, we bring awareness to the unique way we experience and perceive life based on our own unique past experiences—alongside our emotions that go with our experiences. Our awareness of patterns can be cultivated in any situation or experience if we breathe into what is happening and get curious about the experience rather than immediately reacting. These experiences can happen any time, any day. For instance, they could show up in communications in the work place or within a partnership. Maybe we are constantly triggered and left feeling worthless, frustrated, or unheard. When these feelings arise, instead of reacting or blaming the other person, we can get curious. If we bring awareness to our bodies, we can trace back to the first time we felt this same trigger in our body.
Childhood traumas can affect us for a lifetime if we leave them unattended, and we may be left feeling stuck for what appears to be an unexplainable reason. A lot of us have big feelings inside of us, and as children especially, we most likely did not know how to deal with these big feelings, let alone feel the safety to release them. Unaddressed childhood wounds run deep, especially when we are working with generational traumas as a generational self-healer. These wounds can affect everything from our self-esteem and our self-worth, to our communication skills and the way we relate to people. This is where the power of reparenting ourselves and giving our inner child all that they needed to feel safe comes in.
