Traumatic experiences change us. Childhood trauma impacts on our development - but have you even thought that these difficult experiences can help us transform in positive ways - they can help us create radical change in our lives.  Most of us would prefer to live in a world without trauma. Of course we would. It's very hard to live through painful experiences.  And I know from my work as a coach - and my lived experience - that trauma is often incredibly damaging, with effects that can be deep and long-lasting.  But there is a great deal of evidence to show that suffering  is something we all have to go through in our lives, and going through trauma and recovering can be transformative and have positive outcomes such as developing strength, resilience, acceptance, self compassion. So ... traumatic events can act as catalysts for transformation,  and change your life for the better.  Research shows that between half and one-third of all people experience significant personal development after traumatic events, such as bereavement, serious illness, accidents or divorce That sort of shift often occurs when you’re in a mode of acceptance.  You no longer rail against it, try to ignore it or minimise your experiences. You face them head-on and accept that they happened and that they affected you. That’s where the transformation happens.  If you’re interested, you can read more in Psychology Today ⬇️ #traumainformed #trauma #recoverycoaching

🍄 Emotional neglect can deeply impact individuals, as vividly portrayed in the film Ordinary People. My latest article explores how unresolved grief and emotional neglect shape Conrad’s experiences and mental health. Dive into this analysis to understand the profound effects of childhood trauma. #mentalhealth #emotionalneglect #psychology #healing #childhoodtrauma #innerchildhealing  https://lnkd.in/duzfWMkn

I'm excited to share an analysis I recently wrote, exploring how childhood emotional neglect can shape one's life and career. This piece is inspired by the life of Robin Williams, whose incredible talent and struggles have always fascinated me. Through this analysis, I aim to shed light on the profound effects of emotional neglect and the importance of recognizing and addressing these emotional wounds. As we continue to evolve our understanding of mental health, I believe it is crucial to discuss the less visible forms of trauma, such as emotional neglect, and their long-term impact. I invite you to read my reflections and share your thoughts. How do you think we can better support individuals who have experienced emotional neglect?

🖤 Today, we aim to tackle trauma, one of the most perpetual challenges commonly seen in adolescents and adults, who are not bringing their best selves but rather the selves that are stuck in the past due to heavily negative events that have happened to them. Some forewords quoted from the article: 👁️🗨️ "This article is not aimed to heal you with over two thousand words, but merely to light a fire, turn on a light, so you can know that those incidents are not as big as they seemed to be, and there is a way for you to evolve and become more than what has happened to you." 👥 Whether you are someone who wants to let go of your past and create a more fulfilling life or looking to help a loved one, take a look at our article for a touching reunion with truth and actionable steps for a hopeful and bright life. 🔸 https://lnkd.in/gVFXrSzC

❤️Just by acknowledging, giving space, validating, accepting, being compassionate towards feelings we don't like, but are actually trying to protect us, like anxiety, sadness, not feeling worth it, insecurity, etc, our whole body softens and even the emotions lessen because they are finally being acknowledged. It's so beautiful💕 Have you ever tried this? What is your experience with it? It may feel awkward at first. That's ok. Notice and acknowledge the awkwardness. Name every emotion that comes up. Remember, each emotion or body sensation has good motives & intentions. As a child they served you very well, but now as the adult, they may not be serving you the best way.

Hey friend, I am going to create a village, a safe, judgement free space for trauma survivors to express their vulnerabilities. I want you to be a member of this village. I am going to coach you how to achieve a state of Blissful Healing. Blissful healing is an idea of achieving deep emotional healing and tranquility through the process of confronting and releasing intense emotions associated with past traumas. Some of you may know, three years ago I started off as 'Catharsis~Let's Talk', before I changed to 'Heal with Hina'. Catharsis is an act of releasing strong or repressed emotions such as anxiety, stress, fear or anger. It comes from a Greek word "Katharsis" which means purification or cleansing. It is commonly used to refer to purification of thoughts and emotions to achieve peace and contentment. As a Trauma Informed Coach, I have conducted 2-hour workshops, 5-day bootcamp, 6-week Intensives and even a 26 week of healing and transformation journey...all with exceptionally great results. I have helped people overcome crippling fear, challenge their inner critic, face their triggers, uplift their self-esteem, identify their goals, change their complacent habits and stay firm on their boundaries to offset codependency. Yet, I feel something needs to be tweaked for a full on impact.  It takes years (for me 30 years) of continuous negative experiences to reach the point you are at. Expecting it to go away in just a few hours is unfair. It is unrealistic. So, instead of offering 2 hour sessions, or a high priced DIY course, I have decided to open up a monthly, on-the-go subscription for you at a very accessible price point, with a very reasonable expectation.  To allow you the time and space to heal. Why? Because, in real life, people need time to practice (under supervision) the strategies they learn that helps them take control of their lives, long term. Healing can take months to years, and it can get difficult to invest hundreds of dollars to achieve it. If you are struggling to feel worthy and emotionally safe, have lost confidence and control of your emotions and behaviors, you should pay attention. This village will be the support system, the safe haven, your best friend during the times of grief and misery. Keep an eye out for more posts over the next few days as I share my vision for this subscription, to be a part of this village and create BLISS-ful reality (Balanced Life with Inner Harmony, Stability and Self-Respect). If you are not already in my free Facebook group, here is where you can join.  https://lnkd.in/gsNZDdPu Much love, Hina

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 As a psychologist, I often see how childhood trauma affects not only my clients’ personal lives and their relationships but also their 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Yes, your childhood trauma can affect your work performance! Childhood trauma, sadly, is more common than we think. It not only encompasses childhood neglect, abuse, or other adverse experiences like parental divorce or death in a family, but also negative experiences like being bullied at school, subjected to high expectations from parents, or given adult responsibilities as a young child. All those negative early experiences can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars and can manifest in various ways at work, such as: 💥 Emotional reactivity- eg. easily angered or feeling anxious at work 💥 Having difficulties getting along with people at work 💥 Having difficulties asking for help 💥 Difficulty in trusting people 💥 Imposter syndrome 💥 Procrastination 💥 People pleaser 💥 Fear of failure 💥 Workaholism 💥 Depression 💥 Anxiety Today, I would like to share a case example of how childhood trauma can affect work performance, and how therapy can help. Scroll across to see the case of Sarah - how her childhood trauma has affected her work performance, and how therapy with me has helped her overcome her issues. (Please note that her name and profession have been changed to keep anonymity) If you, like Sarah, have experienced childhood trauma, I want you to know that you are not alone. Many of us, including me, have our own childhood scars that need to be healed so that we can live our lives more freely, authentically, and joyfully. What do you think? Do you think your past can affect your present? 𝘏𝘪, 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘚𝘺𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘛𝘢𝘯. 𝘐’𝘮 𝘢 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘦.
