Healing Limiting Beliefs From Childhood Trauma
The memory appeared spontaneously. As soon as she connected to the energy, she remembered her mother shouting those words at her:
“Who do you think you are?”
Our conversation had centred around limitations in her earning ability. Despite her skills and qualifications, she felt there was a ceiling on her career.
I guided her through one of the tools from the Money & Abundance course on Ascension Road.
She began by sensing the level of income that felt safe. As I guided her beyond that threshold, she immediately felt a flame of fear.
I gently invited her to connect with that fear—and the memory surfaced.
She had always loved fashion. On that day, she dressed herself beautifully, expressing something natural and joyful within her. But her mother did not approve.
Instead, she shouted:
“Who do you think you are?”
What was truly heard beneath those words was:
Who are you to be bold?
Who are you to be courageous?
Who are you to be beautiful?
In that moment, a belief was formed:
Stay small to stay safe.
It ran quietly in the background for decades—until it was seen.
Limiting relationships.
Limiting income.
Limiting life.
Was the parent protecting the child—or protecting themselves? Did the child’s expansion threaten the parent’s sense of safety?
Revisiting the event as an adult allows for healing, a new dialogue, and an expansion of what feels safe.
Are you feeling limited or blocked?
How did your parents respond when you expressed boldness or courage?
Did that response truly serve you?
Limiting beliefs are often held energetically within the chakras. Clearing the energy of the belief can create an immediate and powerful shift.
Embodying and grounding the expanded state allows that shift to become lasting.
And here is where it becomes interesting:
From a calm, open, heart-centred state, you can ask the same question—
Who do you think you are?
Bring this into meditation or journaling, and allow the highest vision of yourself to reveal itself
