It is a practice that encompasses mindfulness, self-love, and humanity towards self.<\/p><p>Nevertheless, most of the time we tend to judge and blame our failures, pain, and imperfections. It is easier to dodge it with criticism than to sit with our grief. Many of us avoid listening to what our pain has to say to us.<\/p><p>We wouldn\u2019t dare to even have a glimpse of our wound, rather we would try to seal it as soon as possible. Since these wounds are sealed before healing, they often grow into shadows of self-blaming or self-criticism. You can read more on shadows here<a href=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/zh\/shadow-self-unveiling-ourselves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Shadow Self: Unveiling Ourselves<\/a>.<\/p><p>Self-blaming and self-criticism are some common coping measures that many of us opt to avoid dealing with our pain. Blaming and criticizing are often associated with intergenerational trauma response. <\/p><p>If you\u2019re looking for a therapist in Kota Damansara or Ipoh area, you can click <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.link\/og2wl3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here <\/a>for more information.<\/p><p>Our shortcomings may look unpleasant on a surface level, but deep beneath, it has a lot to share, and wisdom to teach.<\/p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intergenerational_Traumas_Role\"><\/span><strong>Intergenerational Trauma\u2019s Role<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5><p>Intergenerational trauma often influences the way we respond to our stressors and how we cope with our issues.<\/p><p>Being self-critical could be a cycle that we may be carrying from our previous generations. For instance, we may be growing up witnessing our loved ones blaming themselves for every life obstacle, which may be unknowingly absorbed deep within us. We may be unconsciously following their footsteps as we grow and be engulfed in the cycle of self-blaming.<\/p><p>Self-criticism could also be a trauma response. Let\u2019s say we grow up being constantly invalidated and questioned for our choices and the way we feel emotions. This would lead us to unconsciously shut our emotions and fear vulnerability. We would avoid feeling intense emotions at any cost. We would also be blaming ourselves for every other life&#8217;s shortcomings.<\/p><p>Intergenerational trauma can gradually turn us into a people pleaser and tend to self-sacrifice for the needs of others; losing our sense of self. We may feel guilty about keeping ourselves as a priority or even self-love as we may have a strong belief that self-love is a selfish act.<\/p><p>Thus, practicing self-compassion also means that we are on the journey of breaking the intergenerational trauma loop. We are on a mission to create healthier patterns to be passed on to the upcoming generations.
