You are not alone on your healing journey
Trauma, especially developmental (or childhood) trauma is sometimes hard to see - because for those of us that grew up in it, it was our "normal." It has been passed down through generations in our family, and is just "the way it is."
Growing up we were taught to keep secrets, and to do and become what the people around us needed so we could survive.
We learned to be alert at all times, and to read the room carefully so we could adjust quickly to the change in moods.
We also learned to put our own wants, needs and emotions aside to better serve our family.
All families are different, but the coping strategies and tell-tale symptoms our childhood left us with are surprisingly similar, and it is difficult for us to label it for what it is - trauma.
It is time to set those things down and start on a path toward joy and freedom, and create a life that you love.

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.
Psalm 56:8
