What emotions are you comfortable with expressing? Which emotions or emotional topics do you have a difficult time expressing or discussing? Let’s talk about it!

I know I wonder about the mark I will leave when I am gone. I wonder about what people will say about my contribution to this world, if in fact I’ve left a big enough impact to be talked about.

We often carry stories that were never ours to hold. Growing up in survival mode does something to the psyche that goes ignored for generations. Normalizing behaviors that were derived from trauma can cause the wrong cycle to continue. Sometimes, it’s the long silence between words. Other times, it’s the anger led by resentment in a mother’s tone, the fear of abandonment that lives in the corner of our relationships, or the conditional love we didn’t know we were trying to earn. These are the imprints left on our DNA; passed down unknowingly to our loved ones. But here’s where the truth lies: you are not just a product of your past. You are the hope of the future. Can you think of some behaviors that you have noticed in your adult life that would be considered "bad habits"? Here's an example, I have the habit of leaving a small amount of food on my plate to throw away. I will not eat all of my food no matter what the meal is. I have since learned that this may have stemmed from being made to clean my plate as a child. Leaving food on my plate can be seen as a form of rebellion and control. Lets talk about somethings you may do that are unique to you!
