Intimacy, Individuality, and Breaking the Trauma Cycle with Terry Real
Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson
Understand the Wounds to Heal the Scars
In interpersonal dynamics, individuals often react from a place of trauma rather than conscious thought, leading to automatic and immature responses. This behavior stems from unresolved childhood experiences, where one’s true vulnerabilities may be obscured by the visible scars of past wounds. Relationships reflect this complexity, as what manifests often disguises the deeper, hurt child within. The distinction exists between a wise, present adult self and a less mature 'adaptive child' persona, which develops in response to early life conditions. The adaptive child reflects a distorted, child-like interpretation of adulthood based on past influences rather than current reality, suggesting that understanding one's emotional history is crucial for healing.
