In this YouTube Short, Rebeccah Silence explains that if a person's parents grew up without safe, protective environments, they lack the knowledge to keep their own children safe. She frames this as an unconscious generational trauma issue, noting that many clients who experienced sexual abuse also have parents who were themselves abused, leading to limited boundaries inherited from childhood. Silence discusses how experiences of physical, emotional, or mental violence, neglect, or parental disengagement can normalize feelings of unworthiness, making individuals believe they don't deserve care. She emphasizes that while we cannot control others, we can heal the internalized patterns of fear and self‑devaluation, become whole, respect and love ourselves, and break the cycle of abuse. The video concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to DM her on Instagram for her "emotional CPR" masterclass, which she claims will strengthen them to address their healing needs.

Chapters

If your parents never had parents that kept them safe, they didn't know how to keep themselves safe, which means they didn't know how to keep you safe. We don't know how to keep ourselves safer than we feel like our parents kept us safe. And this is all unconscious, so this isn't me bashing our parents who did their best with the tools they had from their level of awareness. Let's just look at this from a generational trauma healing lens, okay? This is why if I've got a client who was sexually abused, almost every single time they had a parent who was sexually abused because we don't have boundaries beyond the boundaries that were in our home and in our childhood growing up. But the second piece of this is just a deservingness piece, right? Like, and if I wasn't safe growing up, maybe there was physical violence, maybe there was emotional violence, maybe there was mental violence, maybe there was just an element of neglect and there was a parent that was just checked out and nobody was there for me. Whatever it was for you, That became very normal. And so it's easy to believe I'm not worth showing up for, I'm not worth being cared for. Now, I can't control other people, but I can heal the part of me that's used to this level of BS. I can heal the part of me that's used to being terrified and scared and unsafe. You are not somebody who can be messed with when you are unshakably whole and love yourself well and really do respect yourself, and you did the work to break the pattern of abuse happens to me. You can be somebody who abuse used to happen to you, because you don't abuse yourself, you don't neglect yourself, you don't devalue yourself. The pattern only stops when you say enough, and there is always an opportunity for you to heal in the face of any hard, horrible thing. DM me @rebeccahsilence on Instagram CPR, and I will send you my emotional CPR masterclass that will superproof you and give you the strength to get real about where you need healing.
