You are of value

Our caregivers are supposed to teach us certain things about life.  In a loving and supportive environment we can come to understand that 

• We are safe, 
• We are of value,
• Others are safe, and
• Others are of value

Unfortunately, things don't always work out so well.

There are many reasons why parents do not provide this nurturing environment (financial stress, illness, job insecurity, or mental health issues), and so this is not about blame.  This is about understanding. 

We need to understand - 

• There are long-term physical and emotional issues caused by Adverse Childhood Experiences, and these permeate long into a person's life
  
• There are a wide range of trauma therapies available to help you correct some of the unhelpful lessons you have learned from your Adverse Childhood Experiences.  This includes tools to help you regulate your emotions, and active strategies to challenge your self-defeating thought patterns.
• It is never too late to learn.  I have worked with people in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and sixties, and they have eventually found peace.
• If you do not do it for yourself, do it for your children and loves ones around you.  What you can learn now can help others later.
