15: Trauma Blocks Everything You Desire
Trauma is the only thing that separates us from everything we desire. Trauma is separation from our life force energy. It’s what happens when we have experiences that we don’t have the capacity to be present for. There are obvious traumas — the things we all know are difficult. And then there is the moment-by-moment way that life nudges us out of our own power, our own authenticity. Ultimately, we are all traumatized to greater and lesser extents through fear and insecurity into living lives that are not our own. It's our aliveness, which is what creates in the world, which is what attracts to us the people and the things that give our lives so much meaning, and when we have a lot of trauma, we don't have as much aliveness.” ——— RESOURCES: Dan Siegel: https://drdansiegel.com/ ( https://drdansiegel.com/) James Finley:https://cac.org/about/our-teachers/james-finley/ ( https://cac.org/about/our-teachers/james-finley/) SIGN UP FOR THE EMAIL SERIES: HOW TO SURRENDER TO LIFE AND THE MORE YOU KNOW IS WAITING FOR YOU. alisoncrosthwait.com/list APPLY FOR EXPAND TO STEP FULLY INTO THE LIFE YOU DESIRE If you are ready to step fully into what you are here to do and live every day with the kind of magic you know is possible, apply for Expand.
