“My parents beat me when I was a kid and I’m not traumatized,” says a male alcoholic whose partner reported him for physical abuse.
“As a child I was punished a lot and I’m fine,” says the man who complains every time he makes a mistake.
“When I disobeyed as a child, my father locked me in a room and for that I am grateful to him today,” says the woman who suffers panic attacks and fear of tight spaces.
“My parents forced me to attend an apprenticeship in this profession, where I make a lot of money, and for that I’m very grateful,” says the man who can’t wait for Friday because he hates his job.
“When I was little, my parents made me sit at the table until I ate everything,” says a woman who doesn’t understand why she struggles with eating disorders.
It’s time to break through the generational trauma and become aware of our past patterns. It is time to be compassionate to ourselves and our children.
A child learns to solve problems through conversation, if we solve conflicts in the family this way. If problems with threats and penalties are solved, one day it will act the same way.
A child learns compassion when we are compassionate towards them.
A child learns to listen to others when we listen to the child, when we are interested in how they feel and what their world looks like.
A child learns to believe in himself if we believe in him.
We don’t have to raise our children, we have to lovingly cultivate them. ❤
