Becoming a Stronger, Healthier Version of Yourself

What Breaks Us Down: Neglect, Violence, Trauma, and Negative Self-Talk

• Neglecting our needs can leave us feeling empty, alone, and powerless.

• Abuse and violence (domestic violence, child abuse, and bullying) can cause psychological insecurity but also damage the stress response system, increase anxiety and stress hormones, weaken the immune system and the body's ability to repair itself, and depress mood over time.

• Trauma can undermine hope and cause individuals to perceive themselves as inadequate, incompetent, unwanted, unacceptable, unimportant, unworthy, or damaged.

• A negative self-talk discourages an individual and causes inner conflicts.

  Ignorance - A lack of knowledge about who you are, what you are, where you are, and where you're going can lead to anxiety and depression.
