I feel stuck feeling that an inner trauma of my childhood and the relationship to my parents are an obstacle. What should I do to feel free and light?

If you feel that an inner trauma of your childhood and the relationship to your parents are an obstacle, then I suggest you take a few moments to reflect on why you feel this way. Is it because of something that happened in the past that is still causing you pain and distress? Or is it something that is preventing you from living your life to the fullest? Once you have identified the cause of your feelings, the next step is to find ways to move past them. If the issue is something that happened in the past, then try to forgive yourself and others involved. If the issue is something that is preventing you from living your life to the fullest, then try to identify the blocks that are preventing you from moving forward. Once you have identified the cause of your feelings and the blocks that are preventing you from moving forward, it is important to take action. This could involve talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking professional help, or engaging in activities that you enjoy. Taking action can help you to feel free and light as you move forward. Finally, it is important to remember that you are not alone in this journey. There are many people who have experienced similar traumas and relationships with their parents and have found ways to move forward and live a fulfilling life. Find strength in knowing that you are not alone and that you can find peace and freedom.
