The problem of childhood repression exists because we were unlovingly treated by our parents during our forming years. With such negative treatment resulting in our inability to fully and freely express all we feel. We deny many of our bad feelings, having been made to fear them, all of which causes us untold problems. Our childhood repression is simply all the bad feelings we were not allowed to express still trapped – repressed – within us, being held in place by our erroneous beliefs and self denying behaviour.
Much focus is given to a traumatic period or event during childhood that is causing many problems in adult life. And if such an early childhood trauma can be healed, then all the resulting problems will go, allowing one to get on with ones life, unhampered by such trauma. And to achieve this may require years of deep penetrating psychological therapy and counselling, all bringing to light the buried pain and truth of what it was all about.
My approach to dealing with childhood repression is slightly different than just specifically focusing on one major problem or traumatic area. It’s not about just trying to fix certain known, or even unknown – unconscious – problems, so when fixed, one can get on with ones life as one would have been able to had such trauma never occurred.
I’m trying to present a more overall view of the problem. That being – and requiring an acceptance of – the fact that our whole life, all we are, is wrong. It’s all negative, reflected in our ongoing denial of our bad feelings and other aspects of ourselves.
And that even if some parts of our upbringing were good; and even if we felt loved and enjoyed our family life, still, it’s all been lived within a negative mind and will state, so is still self-denying.
And that our whole world and society is an expression of our negative unloving state, which our continual abuse of nature – nature existing for us to conqueror – being the sign that we are living the wrong way.
So within our complete traumatic negative state, certainly some people have suffered very severe specific traumas, and as much as they do require healing, should be kept in context within the overall picture that they are only a ‘localised’ problem.
So to do your Feeling-Healing is to take on the WHOLE of your childhood repression – all that is wrong or imperfect within you. So it involves, not only healing all your major traumas, but also every part of your being that doesn’t express itself properly and truly; every part of you that is self-denying; every incorrect belief and behaviour, all with the aim of ultimately having the perfect relationship with yourself, your partner, nature and God.
It is a COMPLETE healing of ones negative self-denying, self-rejecting mind and will condition. An incredible inner transformation from the negative to the positive – healing ones self from living untrue to living true.
So it’s not just a matter of healing a specific trauma and then getting on with your negative self-denying life feeling much better about yourself; it’s about healing the COMPLETE TRAUMA OF EXISTING IN AN UNLOVING STATE.
It is wanting absolute self-love – the ultimate healing process of self-help.
The trouble with how I am presenting childhood repression is that there is little understanding or appreciation that our whole condition – how are are and how we live our life – is traumatic. Everything we do in our lives is coming from the negative – even if we feel loved and are loving – all sill being subtly conditioned by our self-denial and overall unloving state.
And until we realise the extent of our problem, we won’t understand the extent of our childhood repression.
