Childhood Trauma: Unpacking the Cost of Being Nice

Some of the pain you call “childhood trauma” was really childhood education your brain learning how to survive the world you were born into.

You weren’t born afraid, people-pleasing, or walking on eggshells.

You were trained.

Not by choice, but by the emotional environment that shaped you.

A switch on the backside, a slammed door, an angry face... each moment taught you how to stay safe.

And those lessons got written deep into your neurology.

That’s why you react before you even think.

That’s why you’re nice when you don’t want to be.

That’s why you freeze, fawn, or disappear.

You’re not broken.

You’re conditioned.

You survived a world you didn’t choose and your brain adapted beautifully.

But now you don’t live in that world anymore.

And you can update the old training.
