5 Abnormally Normal Childhood Trauma Issues

If you identified with any of these do some journaling about them. Here are two simple prompts.

1) What do I feel about myself when one of these secrets comes up? Is it true that I’m bad somehow in it or could it actually be normal given what my family system was like. Is it me or is it the system I was born in?

2) What might it feel like if I embraced the normalcy of this issue. Would I be less burdened? Would I feel more human rather than feeling separate. Can I gradually accept that my story is more about my family dysfunction rather than me being faulty?
