The Boomerang

What is unresolved with your parents keeps repeating painful patterns in life situations. 

 

​If you’ve closed your heart to your authoritarian dad, you are likely to end up with a bully as a boss at work, no matter how many jobs you have to avoid this dynamic.
 

If you have a hard time maintaining your boundaries with your controlling mom, you end up dating controlling partners.

The Wound - "You hurt me so deeply, Mom or Dad, and now I don't know how to be around you, so I've stepped out of the relationship completely"

​

I am throwing away what hurts & it just comes back to me in another form.

The Lesson - Until I can understand why you showed up the way you did as my parent {often from your own wounded places from the way you were hurt in your childhood } I am bound to live out similar themes in my marriage, professionally, with my own children, even in my health.

Healing Steps to Escape the Boomerang Trap

Early family experiences shape future relationships.


Unresolved issues with parents can create a cycle of unhealthy patterns.

​

Break the cycle by understanding how your past impacts your present. 
 

Intentionally create a life filled with genuine connection & ease.

Your Essence:  Unresolved parental issues hold the key to unlocking your true potential.

​

What is unresolved with your parents doesn't define you but highlights areas ripe for growth. This journey begins with recognizing the patterns you wish to change and acknowledging your true self, beyond the shadows cast by the past.

​

Question to Consider: Reflecting on your past, can you identify a moment or pattern that feels like a repetition of something you’ve judged or found painful in one of your parents?

​

What you can’t or haven’t yet been able to heal with your parents, turns into your unconscious behaviors and the repetition of painful patterns. While these traits may be hidden, they significantly impact your life.

Ignoring a trait within yourself turns it into a shadow—a behavior that emerges without your awareness.

 

If a parent was aggressive when you were small, you might find yourself turning that aggression inward.

 

Or, if a parent was emotionally distant, you might similarly distance yourself from connecting deeply with your own inner needs and feelings.


Insight: Ignoring parts of yourself creates an internal divide, generating repeated patterns and behaviors. Without acknowledging and integrating these denied traits:

​

  • You may attract partners or situations that mirror your unacknowledged aspects.

  • Painful patterns from the past may continue to resurface in different areas of your life - personally & professionally.

  • Authentic self-expression and fulfillment may feel out of reach.


Be Aware: What we push away in our parents often turns into shadow parts of ourselves, causing unintended life patterns. We may find ourselves living out painful re-runs of themes we know all too well from our family.

​

Silver Lining: By embracing all aspects of yourself, including the denied ones, you can break free from unconscious patterns and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
