Healing Childhood Trauma in the Garden – Rooted Episode 1

 Hello friends,

Today, I’m sitting in my garden house, sorting seeds and sorting through memories. 🌱✨
In the very first episode of Rooted on YouTube, I’m opening up about childhood trauma—what it is, how it shapes us, and how we can begin to heal.

For a long time, I didn’t even realize I was carrying the weight of childhood trauma. It showed up in ways I never expected: the people-pleasing, the anxiety, the feeling like I always had to prove my worth. Maybe you’ve felt those patterns too.

Here’s what I shared in the video:

✅ How to Know If You Have Childhood Trauma

• Feeling unworthy or ashamed for no reason

• Struggling with boundaries

• Toxic relationship patterns

• Anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms like chronic pain

• Feeling disconnected from your emotions

✅ Ways to Cope and Heal

• Acknowledge your pain without judgment

• Use grounding practices like gardening or time in nature

• Start therapy or talk to safe, supportive people

• Reparent yourself—give yourself the love you needed as a child

• Practice healthy boundaries and protect your energy

• Remember: healing is a journey, and you don’t have to go it alone

I believe healing is just like tending a garden. 🌿 You plant small seeds of change, nurture them, and with time and care, they bloom into something beautiful.
