Why you are the way you are...
Understanding Your Own mind
Your subconscious (sometimes referred to as unconscious mind) makes up 95% of your thinking mind. It is responsible for running you from your heart beat to blinking to breathing and sweating, your subconscious mind it the computer that drives your life.
It also holds or has access to every single memory. Something like the engine of your car, it doesn’t make decisions or create meanings. It will accept what ever the remaining 5% of your mind – the conscious mind, tells it.
Over the many experiences that your young mind processed, it assigned meaning. With limited life experience and reasoning skills, your interpretations would have you believe, that to some extent, the things that hurt you or made you feel uneasy or scared were your fault or that there was something wrong with YOU, even when you were being mistreated by another.
This brought feelings around being flawed, bad, not good enough, not funny, not liked, not smart, not pretty, not talented or popular enough compared to other kids.
Those early experiences were where your conscious, detective mind started to wire in new beliefs about you. Those beliefs often became the filters through which you saw the world and believed that the world saw you. They formed new behaviors that came from the negative beliefs you held about you even though those beliefs were established on you own misunderstanding of who you were and how the world saw you.

The Present Triggers the Past
Over the course of a lifetime we hold on to pain often until it is muted or forgotten to the conscious mind, but nothing is forgotten to the unconscious (subconscious mind).
It can be years before the un-dealt with pain may begin to seek attention, if not through feeling low or developing destructive behaviors, then maybe creating dis-ease in the body such as auto-immune diseases, cancers or any number of health issues that you may be genetically predisposed too,
Addressing what surfaces now, that may seem attached to resent trauma can in fact have its roots way back in childhood hurt that was never healed and has potentially been triggered in recent years.
Getting to the root cause of an issue can and does very often have a rippling effect on many aspects of your life and lead to some profound inner transformations that impact not only how you live inside your mind, feel about you, feel about the world but also shift physical health issues and reduce or eliminate destructive habits
