童年的創傷，或許不是每個人都能說出口，但每一個人，都有機會慢慢療癒自己。
不是要遺忘，而是學會擁抱那個曾經受傷的自己。從感知身體、練習界線，到尋求專業協助，這是一段學會好好對待自己的旅程
1｜那些看不見的傷，藏在身體裡
你是否也曾有一種難以言喻的不安？像是莫名的焦慮、身體長期緊繃，或是夜裡總是輾轉難眠。這些可能不是偶然，而是童年創傷留下的回音。
身體會記得情緒的重量。創傷不總是發生在傷痕累累的戰場，它可能是長期的忽略、語言暴力、分離恐懼，或一次嚇壞你的事件。身體透過壓力荷爾蒙、慢性發炎反應留下記號，提醒你：「我曾不安。」
2｜當創傷變成行為的影子
那些「不被理解的反應」，可能正是過往創傷的自然延伸。也許你會發現自己變得易怒、黏人、退化行為，甚至無法與人建立連結。這些都是創傷的防禦機制，而不是你的錯。
學會辨識自己行為的來源，是療癒的第一步。你不需要再為了「不夠好」而責怪自己，你只需要多一點理解與接納。
3｜練習照顧自己，不是自私，而是修補
自我療癒不一定是一場盛大的改變，而是從一杯水、一段呼吸開始。健康飲食、創作、冥想、寫日記、正念呼吸，每一個都是找回自我連結的路徑。
你不需要成為療癒大師，你只需要願意多照顧那個曾經沒被好好對待的自己。
4｜畫出界線，是一種保護自己的溫柔行為
我們從小可能沒學過「拒絕」，甚至把「討好」當成生存策略。但長大後，你可以開始練習設下界線，告訴世界什麼可以、什麼不行。
當你為自己劃出界線，其實也是在對內在小孩說：「你是安全的。」
5｜有時候，我們需要的不只是自救，而是有人陪伴
療癒不等於獨自扛下全部。有時候，心理治療師能提供你從未體驗過的「穩定安全感」。不論是認知行為療法（CBT）、眼動療法（EMDR）或支持性的團體治療，都是幫助你看見過去、放下防衛的途徑。
你可以不必一個人熬過每一晚。
Soft Healing for Hard Pasts: How to Reclaim Life After Childhood Trauma
Childhood trauma doesn’t have to define you. Healing is possible—through awareness, boundaries, creativity, therapy, and above all, self-compassion. Start where you are.
1｜Where the Body Keeps the Score
Sometimes, the trauma we carry doesn’t show up as tears—it shows up as tension. As chronic pain. As that feeling in your gut that something’s off. Childhood trauma doesn’t always leave visible scars, but it leaves its mark deep within the nervous system.
Your body remembers what your mind can’t always process. Stress hormones, inflammation, and emotional flashbacks are not signs of weakness—they’re signs you survived.
2｜Behavior Is a Message
Irritability. Emotional outbursts. Regression. Emotional distance. These behaviors are often misread, but they’re really echoes of unmet needs and early wounds.
The way we cope now often mirrors how we adapted then. Instead of shame, bring curiosity: What part of me is trying to protect me right now?
3｜Self-Care Is Not a Luxury
Healing begins with softness. It’s in a slow walk, a deep breath, a quiet journal entry. These small acts of self-care—creative expression, nourishing food, body awareness—are love letters to your nervous system.
You don’t need to be “healed” to be worthy of rest.
4｜Boundaries Are Sacred
As a child, you may not have had the power to say “no.” As an adult, you do. Boundaries are not walls; they’re bridges to your safety and sanity.
They define what you will protect, not what you will push away.
5｜Healing Can Be a Team Sport
Therapy isn’t a sign of brokenness—it’s a portal to your power. Whether it’s CBT, EMDR, or group therapy, having a trained guide can help rewire the way your brain holds pain.
You’re not meant to go through it alone. And you don’t have to.
