You've heard that been said before and it's true.

 

Our identity is a mix of what we learned about the world, the meanings we attached to those experiences, as well as the emotions that naturally surfaced during particular instances, and the memories that were consolidated over time.

 

If you learned life was unpredictable, abuse was the norm, love was not a given, and that your body, mind, soul, heart, tears, cries, needs, wants and space were irrelevant, you may not understand that those experiences shaped your IDENTITY.

 

Not feeling worthy, good enough, seen, valued, understood, nurtured, wanted, loved, respected, appreciated are all experiences that have been stored in your memories. Over time, these memories become neurological pathways that stem from the innumerable ghostly doors that live in the subconscious mind.

 

These doors hold our boo boos; the ones that went unprocessed and ignored. Sadly, these unprocessed experiences shape our identity.

 

Because we have been denied love, we then identify with the idea that who we are is unlovable. As we grow, we step into the world as if this negative narrative is true.

Codependency is HOW this FALSE identity manifests.

 

What goes in comes out and Dear One that is NOT your fault.

 

Embrace your memories and then rebuke the identity they helped to create, unless you already know just how enough you truly are.
