Childhood Trauma Quotes

“Childhood trauma can range from having faces extreme violence and neglect to having confronted feelings of not belonging, being unwanted, or being chronically misunderstood. You may have grown up in an environment where your curiosity and enthusiasm were constantly devalued. Perhaps you were brought up in a family where your parents had unresolved traumas of their own, which impaired their ability to attend to your emotional needs. Or, you may have faced vicious sexual or physical attacks. In all such situations, you learn to compensate by developing defenses around your most vulnerabe parts.”

“When I am saying all of this, she is just looking at me and I am seeing water in her eye. So I am saying to her, if I am telling this to you it will be making you to think that I am some sort of beast or devil. Amy is never saying anything when I am saying this, but the water is just shining in her eye. And I am saying to her, fine. I am all of this thing. I am all of this thing, but I am also having mother once, and she is loving me.”

“I get a lot of questions, asking about vitamin K shot, so let's talk about the vitamin K shot, shall we? Most parents have no idea why babies are born with low vitamin K. And it's not a flaw in the design it's part of the design they never explain to you. Babies are born with low vitamin K for a reason, and a very good one at that. At birth, their cord blood is loaded with stem cells that rush to any damaged areas from labor. If newborns had high vitamin K levels at birth that stem cell rich cord blood wouldn't migrate the same way. That's why delayed cord-clamping is so crucial. When you clamp immediately, you steal up to a third of the baby's blood volume and the stem cells meant for healing. Meanwhile, colostrum, that liquid gold a mother produces immediately after birth, has way higher vitamin K than mature breast milk. Again, not a mistake, not a coinkydinky doodle, it's how God designed the system. But instead of honoring that system, the hospital jumps straight to a synthetic vitamin K injection. Before the cord is done transferring, before the baby is even five minutes old. And they never mention the oral option that bypasses the injection completely and all of the poison in the shot. Poison like polysorbate 80 which opens the blood-brain barrier, which is not a good thing. Propylene glycol which is an industrial solvent used in... ready for this? Antifreeze! Castor oil derivatives. Benzyl alcohol which is linked to gasping syndrome in newborns. And in some formulations, if you are unlucky enough, their favorite poison: aluminum. All injected into a brand-new immune system within minutes of life. It's insane, guys. This isn't protective. This is interference with long-term consequences they never talk about. If you want the real information, the real history, the real ingredients, and the confidence to navigate newborn decisions like vitamin K, vaccines, antibiotics, fevers, and the entire pediatric gauntlet, join my Skool community: The Healthy Truth”

“Those painful childhood memories we bury, that some of us try and drown out with sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, all the usual crutches and distractions. These childhood experiences are going to be really painful to engage with, no one wants anyone else to be exposed to their deepest, darkest, most shameful secrets, but unless these issues are talked about they can never be defeated, and you will never be at peace with yourself or anyone else. You have one day got to face that shit head-on and defeat it. Believe me.”

“I think trauma gets a reductive treatment. We tend to think only violence or molestation or total abandonment qualify as "childhood trauma," but there are so many ruptures and disturbances in childhood that imprint themselves on us. Attachment begets trauma, in that broader sense, and so if we've ever been dependent on anyone, I think there is an Imago blueprint in us somewhere.”
