@mediummichelemaguire: Ever notice how certain stages of your kids’ lives hit you harder than others? 👀 It’s not “just hormones.” It’s not just because you’re not sleeping well. It’s not because you’re failing as a mom. When your baby cries, when your toddler throws a tantrum, when your kid hits the age you were during something painful - your body remembers. And suddenly, you’re not just parenting your child… you’re face to face with the younger parts of you that never got what they needed when you were growing up. Motherhood has a way of reactivating childhood trauma in stages: ✨ Newborn stage → unmet needs from when you were a baby ✨ Toddler years → the anger or emotions you weren’t allowed to have ✨ School years → rejection, bullying, or fear you once lived through ✨ And it keeps going…every stage can bring your own unhealed childhood wounds to the surface. If this resonates, you’re not broken. You’re not “too emotional.” You’re confronting your past in real time. And the good news? That means you can break the cycle. 💫 💬 DM me “QUIZ” for my free quiz on how much your childhood is affecting your parenting. ➡️ Follow me for more raw conversations and tips about trauma and how to finally feel at peace. #childhoodtraumahealing #childhoodtraumasurvivor #singlemomprobs #divorcedparents
