Trauma shapes your belief system and how you see the world. A limited worldview forged by past pain colors your relationships and strips away personal power, leaving you interpreting reality through old wounds instead of seeing what's actually there.
Chapters
If we have a limited belief system, then that's how we will see the world. To me, and you will see this, if a person has suffered trauma, then throughout their life there will be an influence of that trauma. That trauma has that power to influence any future relationship that may come in that person's life. So yes, you have forgotten your power because of everything that you have experienced. And rather than being connected to our own self, we start to get seduced by all that we see, hear, and experience through our senses. We start to see the world for not what the world is, but a response to our own past experiences.
