Hi Camilla, I was just thinking something similar this week about how children's emotional needs are often unmet during childhood by parents in general. I have come to the conclusion, especially for myself, that if the emotional needs of the parents weren't met when they themselves were children then it becomes a generational trauma that gets passed down until someone realizes it and heals it. As a result, I have allowed myself to release and surrender any parental expectations I've had more for my peace of mind than anything else.
Hello Lotus Empress😁 Thanks for your comment and Yes! I do have a sense that the times we're living in are calling for healing of generational trauma. As adults in the second half of life, if we're able, we get to heal all past wounds and dissolve the "pain body" that Eckhart Tolle talks about - and as each drop in the ocean heals, we have potential widespread healing✨🌟💖🙏🕊️
It takes awareness to withhold your trauma, heal it so that as a parent, you don't pass it down to your children.
Such awareness cannot happen without voluntary snd deliberate effort. If the mother is a narcissist, the mother-daughter wound may never heal (in a daughter).
Hi Neha, Thanks for your comment, and yes, if we do the inner work to heal past trauma, we successfully prohibit the passing of trauma on to the next generation. And also yes - we get to make the choice if we're going to do the inner work to heal, and it's true that our own inner work is independent from our parents. We cannot control if the mother-daughter wound will heal - it takes two.✨🌟💖🙏🕊️

Thank you. Your insight "it takes two" helps make more peace within me. I'm doing my part, the only part I have control over. 💓🙏🏼
