Children experiencing developmental trauma are faced with a stark reality—we must choose between revealing our authentic feelings or hiding to get our needs for closeness met. Most children will hide because they have learned that being fully themselves was unsafe. When we sacrifice authenticity for the sake of belonging, we relinquish healthy boundaries that help us to discern the difference between safety and threat. This class explores the costs that this dilemma has on the nervous system and why tending to the vagus nerve along with the emotional costs of childhood trauma help us to heal.
