I will tell you something that is a fact: all the bad stuff that happens to us before the age of seven, all the trauma we experience as a child, becomes a part of who we are.
Very important piece, in more than a few ways. Validation of experience, and celebration of a path to a better place even if not to perfection. Thanks for writing it, as always.
I've noticed that trauma affects traders too. Back in March last year when the banking crisis was brewing I noticed some traders became really fearful as if they thought "Here we go again".
Hey I just discovered Internal Family Systems work by Dr Richard Schwartz. It seems really effective and honestly when I listened to him do work on Aubrey Marcus I cried and also thought of you. I should and am thinking of me, but you’re such a good soul and I’d love to see healing those parts. It’s also called “parts work”. Aubrey is a bit of a psychonaut so perhaps he normally isn’t your cup of tea, but in his Nov 3, 2021 episode you can see the work in action and how powerful it is. Cheers
My parents told me that when I was an infant, I had a nurse who put me on a feeding schedule. She would not feed me when I cried out of need for food. I only got fed on her schedule. My parents should have fired her, but they didn't. She quit because she couldn't stand my crying and screaming, which was due to my need for food. I have always resented my parents for failing to fire her.
Even after the nurse quit, my parents wouldn't feed me. They finally started giving me the nutrition I needed when they saw that I was sucking my arms black and blue. I was literally trying to eat my own body out of need for food. I wonder to this day how the trauma of being nearly starved to death in my earliest days has affected me throughout my life.
Thank you for exposing the phoniness of most of the mainstream TV and streaming culture, the financial services and healthcare ads, where even people with cancer are cheerful and joyous.

ps this does not detract from, let alone obviate your excellent post
I'm sorry about the trauma you went through as a child.

And don't forget social media apps.

Great stuff, sir. It helps me understand all of my ex-girlfriends for one thing.
So very true Jared. Thanks for writing this. There are a lot of us out there who experienced similar childhoods.
