Many people don’t want to look at their childhood woundings because doing so is painful. If you have this reaction, you may be compartmentalizing these painful experiences and pretending that things weren’t that bad. I turned out OK, didn’t I? Such rationalizations give you an excuse to avoid feeling or looking at things. However, as you have learned in earlier chapters, touching on the events you have experienced is not going to kill you. It may hurt or sting, but you are stronger than you know, and with some self-care you will get through this process intact and feel much better.

If you start feeling resistance to the work, know that this is a normal reaction. Acknowledge the defensive reaction, then give yourself permission to look at all aspects of your childhood to see how they feel to you today.

In the next section, you are going to create a timeline that will help put your early woundings and standout events in perspective. This living blueprint of your life will help you to see yourself and your life events from a different perspective.

The timeline focuses on your developmental years from birth to age twenty. Don’t be concerned about keeping to this specific age range, as some people have deep, painful wounding experiences in their early twenties and even later, so this isn’t a hard and fast rule. However, the earlier years tend to be when deep wounding or trauma impacts people the most, and this is when these lifelong wounding patterns become established.
