Summary
- human beings are emotional entities
- emotional sensibility influences the trauma we are carrying
- trauma creates the lens through which we see life
- awareness allows us to release stored trauma

At our core, human beings are deeply emotional entities. Our capacity to feel – joy, sorrow, fear, love – is not a secondary feature but an integral part of who we are. This emotional sensibility undergoes significant development during our transformative years and profoundly influences the conscious and unconscious traumas we carry through life.
Conscious traumas are the events we remember clearly – a significant loss, an accident, a period of abuse or neglect. These experiences can leave lasting emotional scars, shaping our beliefs about ourselves and the world, and often triggering vivid memories and intense emotional reactions, even years later.
Equally significant, though often more insidious, is the impact of unconscious trauma, the experiences that may not be stored as explicit memories but nonetheless shape our emotional landscape and behavioral patterns. While we may not consciously recall specific instances, these experiences can create deeply ingrained emotional patterns.
These conscious and unconscious traumas can create a lens through which we experience adult life and impact our attachment styles, our self-worth, and our ability to navigate stress.
When we bring awareness to unconscious patterns – and approach past traumas with understanding and compassion – we can open the door to deep healing and greater emotional freedom.
