Trauma is a great driver which pushes you to success or stability without feeling the need for so called social skills, trust or bonding.
Choice and decision are involuntary skills when you are on the edge and fighting for your survival.
But when thatβs over:
Are you equipped to live and motivate yourself with choice and independent decision making
Are you equipped to lead your life for YOU
Thatβs the point when you struggle leaving behind those trauma bonds β with your parents, partners, families, past or communities and you believe you had enough..
because you never had the opportunity to learn to exercise choice or take decision at peace.
If you are feeling this way, this is not the end
Itβs the beginning and an opportunity for a brand new βYOUβ
You are not alone
