Healing Childhood Wounds: Jennifer Mixon's Path to Self-Compassion

I've had two therapists actually tell me point blank that me continuously engaging in this relationship with him is me trying to resolve the original trauma with my parents, and it really did not click all the way until I kind of sat down and wrote this all out about being a trauma bond, baby and wanting one.
What happens when unresolved childhood trauma seeps into adult relationships? In this heartfelt episode of the Domestic Abuse Recovery Journal, Jennifer Mixon opens up about her own experiences with trauma bonding and the journey to heal those deep-seated wounds. Trauma bonding occurs when someone forms an emotional attachment to an abusive partner, often rooted in unresolved childhood issues. Jennifer's story is a beacon of hope, shedding light on the power of self-compassion and the importance of healing from within.
She shares practical skills for developing self-compassion and offers a timeline analysis technique to help untangle past traumas. This episode is dedicated to her 'little sunshines', Aubrey and Maggie, adding a personal touch that many listeners will find relatable. Whether you're grappling with the effects of childhood trauma or seeking ways to support someone who is, Jennifer's insights provide a roadmap to breaking free from harmful patterns and finding inner peace.
Tune in for an episode that's as enlightening as it is empowering.
