I’ve learned that certain things I do as an adult are from trauma. I’ve been trying to learn more about trauma based responses.
One thing I do that is completely trauma based is apologizing for things that aren’t even my fault. For instance you drop your phone I apologize for you dropping your phone. It sounds ridiculous I know, but growing up in a household with little to no money and an abusive brother you learn to apologize for things.
Anyways, I’m catching myself doing it. Like at work I’ll apologize for someone spilling their own drink. It’s a habit I need to stop.
My goal for today is to learn a way to cope when things go wrong and not to blame myself for them. It’s okay if something bad happens it’s life. My next post will be ways to help get out of the bad habit! I hope I’m not alone so I can help someone!!
Closing this never forget how amazing you guys are! ❤️ thank you for supporting me and my journey! I love y’all! ❤️🌻
