Trauma language could be anything that keeps you stuck in a negative cycle.
It could be anything that you have “learned” to say to yourself and about yourself on a daily basis.
It could also be anything negative that others close to you have always said about or to you.

Trauma language often tends to be ingrained in the heart and mind as a result of the language being repetitive.
The language has a way of breaking down your sense of self, your identity, and your confidence. Without the ability to correctly identify, understand, and then “fight against” the obsessive language you are likely to feel depressed, anxious, and defeated.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on “negative self-talk” and “negative attributions” which have a major impact on how we perceive our lives and our reality.
