Recognising and Healing the Roots of Emotional Wounds: How Unprocessed Trauma from Your Childhood Stops You Living a Happy, Self-Determined Life
Healing developmental trauma: your way to a self-determined life. Do you feel you are treading water and keep finding yourself in similar, harmful relationships in your private and professional life? Do you have the impression you are never allowed to be happy? Are you constantly accompanied by the same fears, or do you suffer from emotional loneliness? Do you find it hard to say no and set boundaries, so that you are forever on the brink of burnout?
Mostly we have no idea that the roots of these and other problems lie deep in our childhood. Unprocessed developmental trauma sabotages your well-being, robs you of self-confidence and makes you live at others’ bidding instead of free.
Hypnotherapist Pet Anthony knows this dynamic from her long work with clients and shares this knowledge and her experience with you in this book. On YouTube, too, her informative videos have won her more than 50,000 subscribers.
Five reasons you need this book:
- Understanding trauma. Learn why trauma originates as early as infancy and before, and what role a lack of safety and the faulty development of the nervous system play.
- Perceiving the body’s signals. Recognise physical warning signs such as inner restlessness and tension in the jaw and neck as traces the trauma has left in your body.
- Activating stress regulation. Learn simple breathing and vagus-nerve exercises with which you can calm your nervous system for good and normalise cortisol levels.
- Stabilising the psyche. Work with guilt, shame and perfectionism: set clear boundaries, say no and free yourself from old attachment patterns.
- Living self-determination. Build your autonomy step by step, find more joy in life and live your needs with confidence.
What makes this book unique: unlike theoretical standard guides, Pet Anthony offers a holistic three-phase approach, from the analysis of childhood imprints (part 1) through the concrete consequences of trauma in adult life (part 2) to the deep healing of body and psyche (part 3). Exactly where others stop, she leads you further, with systemic exercises and effective self-hypnosis tools you can apply at home straight away.
