Unhealed childhood trauma manifests as…

Trying to fix others  
People pleasing
Co-dependency
External validation needed
Living on high alert
Fear of abandonment
De-prioritizing own needs
Tolerates abusive behaviour
Attracts narcissists
Difficulty setting boundaries

— Unknown

Wow. That’s scary accurate, in my experience. Fortunately, I developed an interest in psychology at a young age and ended up on a positive, healing journey. It’s still taken years, financial investment, various therapies, sacrificial weekends, blood, sweat and tears to make substantial progress. I had to learn new communication/relationship skills as well, as healthy conflict resolution was not modelled in my family of origin or at school/work. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
