:Reclaiming The Truth About Your Worth
When you've experienced childhood trauma, it can quietly shape how you see yourself — often in ways you don’t even realize. You may question your worth, take on too much responsibility, or settle for relationships that leave you feeling unseen. Early wounds teach us who we think we are and what we believe we deserve. But those messages aren't the truth of who you are. Your value is not defined by what happened to you — it’s rooted in who God created you to be.
If you're ready to begin healing your relationship with yourself and with others, I invite you to reach out.

You may have come from a family where you were not ‘honored” or “valued” and where your boundaries were violated physically, emotionally, and where your spirit was taken down to the pit and broken. And as an effect of this trauma( or trauma’s) you have internalized a lot of negative beliefs and feelings toward yourself. You may be “running away” from yourself and not even notice .
Sometimes we lose sight of our worth — not because it’s gone, but because life, trauma, or people have covered it up. If you’ve been dismissed, used, or shamed, you may carry the quiet belief that your value is conditional. But it’s not. You were created with purpose and dignity. That value is still there — unchangeable, even when buried under pain.
If you’re ready to begin healing your relationship with yourself and with others, I would be honored to walk with you.

You may have very likely developed a pattern of talking to yourself in a “shaming” way and you often feel depressed and defeated as a result of this “shaming” and “punishing” self-talk.
(See ”Benefits Of Reparenting Yourself”)
This is the time to begin to identify how not “honoring” yourself can show up in your life. You will start to notice as you pay attention to the following three areas that are red flags of not “honoring” yourself:.
YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES
It is important for you to know that you can learn alot about how you truly feel about yourself by the ways others treat you. You may have gotten so used to “eating crumbs” that now you think it is a full meal…but it is not. We train people how to treat us by how we feel about ourselves. So if you are having your boundaries not respected than it is essential that you address the part of you that has been so wounded and this pattern is familiar but it also is toxic.
(See: ”3 Keys To Freedom From Toxic Relationships”)
2. YOU DO NOT SET BOUNDARIES
In order to “honor” yourself it is essential to learn to set boundaries as that is a big part of you beginning to acknowledge that you “exist and that you value yourself”
You may be so afraid to set boundaries as you fear rejection and abandonment and also that you have “never used those muscles” but now it is time for you to learn to say “no” just as a two-year-old learns that. And for your “no” to be honored first by you before anyone else can honor it. Am using the word “no” as an example of you determining what is acceptable and what is not for you. No one can read your mind!

3. YOU AVOID “YOU”
You may have gotten so accustomed to being distracted and busy that you have developed a pattern of avoiding and neglecting “you”. You may struggle with speaking the truth in love to yourself as well as acknowledging what your “wounds and issues’ are and yet you are finding out how those unhealed areas have taken control of your life. Time to slow down and get the help you so need so you can heal.
