You feel like the black sheep of your family; like you never really fit anywhere. You feel like something is “off” but can’t quite put your finger on what is causing your discomfort. You may feel like you’re stuck in your past, unable to move forward and create the life you want. You’re tired of the same unsatisfying relationships that happen over and over again. You crave closeness with others but find it difficult to let people in. You worry about people leaving you. You might feel or have even been told by family in one way or another that you’re the problem.
Generational trauma is the issue, not you. Imagine if you no longer felt like the black sheep in your family, friend group, or life. You no longer felt like there was something missing in your life that you can’t put your finger on. Your past doesn’t have to dictate your future, you don’t have to repeat the mistakes of your family.
Breaking the generational cycle of trauma is possible. Satisfying relationships with yourself and others are within your grasp. You don’t have to keep repeating the same cycles. Together, we can break these cycles and create happy, lasting relationships with others and yourself. Contact me for a free consultation.
