Welcome to the Women of Worth Podcast with Claire Fealy! In today's episode, you are going to hear part 2 of the incredible episode I recorded with Katie McKenna about childhood and trauma responses. We dive into why having compassion is so important on your healing journey. We want you to know that you are enough and that you don’t have to be anyone but YOURSELF!But, this isn’t just my podcast. I would never be where I am today without you! So, settle in, grab a nice cup of tea, and welcome to another episode of OUR podcast.Bring Compassion [1:30]When you connect with your inner child, you can’t not have compassion for a 5 year old you that was just trying to be seen, heard, and valued in the middle of chaos. [2:00]When clients hear their story as if it’s someone else's, they have so much more compassion because it interrupts the pattern of dismissing your emotions and experiences. [2:40]You need to have a balanced scale. So here is one side- generous, kind, compassionate, loving, empathic, and interesting. And if that is balanced with boundaries and express and my own wants and needs having my own preferences and having a felt sense of self, if that is in balance, that is okay. [5:15]Childhood Development [5:50]There is absolutely no blame or accountability to you in childhood. This was something that was pushed on you. [6:00]It’s up to the parents to set healthy boundaries. [6:15]These are survival responses. They served a purpose in childhood. You did exactly what you needed to do. [6:45]Kids will have emotional meltdowns and teenagers are so impulsive because they can't think of the logical consequences. [8:40]You are Enough [9:00]You never have to be anything but yourself. [9:45]You are your own greatest healer. [10:30]I went on a mission to rescue other people, but I ended up rescuing myself. [12:00]If you want to do something, don’t do it for praise. [16:00]The most profound thing I did for my healing was sitting with myself. [17:00]The wounds of emotional neglect is the death of a thousand cuts. [18:40]Your core values are like your joy GPS. [22:30]When you’re not being yourself, you don’t feel seen, heard and valued.
