Here are 4 special abilities you have because of childhood trauma
When I healed from childhood traumas, I realized it gave me an edge that my peers (who grew up in normal families) didn't have
My childhood help me maintain the success I have now
I call it a superpower & I identified 4 abilities this superpower gave you
Let me know in the comments if you recognise these abilities, in yourself.
1.The ability to detach from reality
Because your childhood felt unsafe, you have this miraculous ability to play pretend. You're very good at staying in your imagination
You can play different characters or act like your life is a movie. When people ask about how you “manifested” your life, you look at them with a blank stare, because this stuff comes naturally to you
It’s like trying to explain how you breathe. It just happens
And in the most stressful of times, you're the calmest person in the room
Because it's normal for you. Your body responds to stress with “Okay, let's GOOOOOOOOOO….”.
2.The ability to gaslight yourself
People think you're crazy. You're the type of person to see the good in the bad times
You have this unique perspective of the world. That the bad times ain't going to last forever, so what's the point of stressing over it
And that's why you're so good at “manifesting” or getting what you want, because you live in the land of, what others call, delusion
You can easily persuade yourself, on why a last min holiday to the Bahamas, is better than clocking into work the next day
You would rather quit your job to sunbathe because you just know everything will work out (I actually did this when I was 17)
People have often compliment how good you are at taking risks. But in your mind, it's just a normal day being you.
3.The ability to adapt to change
While most people are having a nervous breakdown when things don't go their way
You're skipping along with the chaos
In fact, chaotic times remind you of your superpower
It's like you look at chaos dead in the face & say “try me”
Not many people are resilient in the face of a storm
But you always make it out without a bruise & then teach others how to do the same
Your resilient nature makes you the perfect leader too. People look up to you, but you hate being put on a pedal stall
Because you know what it feels like to feel small. You never want anyone to feel how you did as a child. That empathy is why you never want to abuse your power.
4.The ability to love unconditionally
Gurl, you are that fierce, loyal companion. That ride or die girl (not for a man, please don't do that for a man…I beg ya)
But your friends just know, when they're with you, that they'll be okay
You're the type to look out for others because you know what it feels like, to be alone
You often dream of ways to make the world a better place. Your ability to love with your heart, makes you soft yet strong at the same time
It has given you deep intuition that often scares you. Most of the times, your hunch was right
And that's because when you love unconditionally you're so good at pattern recognition. You notice the slight change in tone. The micro expressions
You've gotten yourself out of terrible situations by following your gut.

This post isn't to say that what happened to you was good
Trauma is never commendable or something to admire
Yes, you could've learned these skills in a healthier way
But unfortunately that wasn't the story you were given
And it doesn't need to be the story you keep telling yourself
You can only be the victim, if you see yourself as that
I want you to remember just how powerful you
That despite all that you've been through
You made it…
…gurl you're still here…thriving
I'm so proud of you
Embrace that feeling
You deserve to be happy💜🤍
