Saboteur Traumas: The Impact on Adult Life
When childhood abuse trauma remains untreated, it can shape a woman's perception of herself and her capabilities. Claudia Lisboa explains that this unresolved experience leads to a cycle of self-sabotage, where the individual begins to doubt their own competence.
Even with evident professional achievements, a woman might not recognize that she got there by her own merit. She may believe she achieved success through questionable means or luck, never through her genuine ability. This distorted self-perception generates constant internal questioning, undermining her confidence and self-worth.
Damaged Self-Esteem and Professional Insecurity
Damaged self-esteem is a direct consequence of these untreated traumas. The woman feels undervalued, believes she deserves "anything," and often settles for staying "on the sidelines" of her own career. A lack of security manifests in an inability to express herself, present her ideas, or fight for her professional goals.
This insecurity prevents her from positioning herself in the job market or even within her own company, limiting her growth and fulfillment. The belief that she is unworthy of success or recognition perpetuates a vicious cycle of stagnation and frustration.
Recognizing and treating these traumas is the first step to breaking these sabotaging patterns. By empowering themselves and seeking healing, women can finally reclaim their worth, their achievements, and build the career and life they truly deserve, with renewed confidence and self-esteem.
