A little bit about Twin Flames

As Jeff and Shaleia described in their book: Twin Flames: Finding Your Ultimate Lover, Twin Flames are manifested from the very same soul essence or the same soul blueprint. You and your Twin Flame are created by God at the same moment, and you both are designed as your soul’s highest and most perfect eternal complement.

Both Twin Flames’ souls are created with individual specific codes, qualities, and traits that make them unique and they complement each other completely, which means they are not carbon copies of each other. One is created as the divine feminine and the other one is as divine masculine. This is the main explanation for your intense attraction and desire for your Twin Flame.

In this way both Twin Flames are already created whole and complete in Divine Perfection (like the yin and yang symbol). You both are already one as you both created the same blueprint.

What is trauma & its reasons?

Trauma is when something very upsetting or scary happens, and it makes you feel bad or scared even after it’s over. The incident is over in the past but its effect is still stored and the person living the life in survival mechanism as psychologically that traumatic event still runs in their unconscious mind.

Trauma can be caused by a wide range of experiences, such as physical or sexual abuse, natural disasters, accidents, war, and other violent incidents. It can also result from chronic or ongoing stress, like living in a high-crime area, battling a life-threatening illness, or enduring difficult family circumstances.

It can make you have bad dreams, feel scared a lot, or have trouble feeling happy. Everyone feels it differently, Everyone’s experience of trauma is unique, and people vary in their ability to cope with traumatic events.

What is a trauma bond?

A trauma bond is when someone has a strong emotional connection with a person who treats them badly or hurts them. It’s like being friends with or loving someone means to you, but you feel like you can’t leave them or stop caring about them. This can happen because the mean person sometimes is nice, which makes it confusing and hard to leave.

This kind of bond is not healthy and can make someone feel sad or scared.

In a trauma bond, the person can feel strongly in addiction towards the abuser. Unconsciously the person gets used to going through toxicity and gets addicted to those suffering as the person feels comfortable in that zone as the person has familiar feeling with the situation. They can not come out from this without awareness and healing. Abuser wants to keep them in this cycle as it boosts their self-esteem. In this situation of the victim and victimizer, both are suffering from Traumas and playing vice versa roles in each other’s lives.

Can this dynamic play as Twin Flame psychological trauma? If this pattern is present in your consciousness, it will be brought up to be healed and released.

What is the difference between a REAL Twin Flame Relationship vs a trauma bond?

In a Twin Flame relationship, as one person heals and grows their relationship positively changes with their Twin Flame. Twin Flame bond is based on self-love. It pushes the person to come to their healthy and authentic self. You did not fall into a codependent relationship with your Twin Flame.

Twin Flame bond involves spiritual growth, self-love, and experiencing wholeness within, and A trauma bond represents narcissistic and toxic patterns and cycles. Which does not change.

In Twin Flame bond as much as both heal they become independent individuals sharing healthy relationships by taking responsibility for their healing. Both are compassionate with each other by holding time and space for each other and supporting each other to heal, learn, and grow.

What are addictions?

Addiction is when someone can’t stop doing something, even if it’s bad for them. This could be using drugs, drinking too much alcohol, smoking, or even things like playing video games, eating certain foods, or having unhealthy sexual relationships. They keep doing it because it makes them feel good or helps them forget their problems for a while, but it can cause problems in their life like health issues or trouble with friends and family.

Addiction gives temporary relief. Through addiction, a person gets numbed out towards their actual feelings, emotions, fears, phobias, etc, and runs away from their healing.

Codependency is also an addiction in a person who gets addicted to a person in an unhealthy relationship and experiences the same toxicity again and again until they choose to heal.

Can traumas attract a false Twin Flame?

Yes, if the person has unresolved traumas. They can attract false Twin Flames as if they are attracted like the law always works. It means they attract a person, who mirrors their Trauma and triggers them. Beauty is once the person is healed from the trauma False Twin Flame disappears. Even from your heart and mind false Twin Flame gets washed out and loses the attraction and magnetic bond with you. This is the process.

Once you release the false Twin Flame still you can get some memories that can trigger you, but now as you are healing those memories and triggers will lose their power with time and you will find even in the period of triggers you are handling yourself wisely. Most importantly you are always ready to support yourself and that is called true self-love.

Twin Flame psychological trauma is not though the only reason someone attracts a false Twin Flame.

How to get free from traumas?

Everything starts with awareness and choices. To get free from trauma is also your conscious choice, which you can make and get ways to free from it. This is the process but with time you get completely free and can live a beautiful healthy life with abundance.

Healing from trauma is a deeply personal and often complex process. It’s important to understand that what works for one person may not work for another, and healing can take time. Here’s a general guide on steps to consider in the journey of healing from trauma:

Acknowledgment and Acceptance

Recognize and accept that you have experienced a traumatic event. Denying or minimizing the impact of trauma can hinder the healing process.

Seek Professional Help

Trauma can manifest in various ways and can be difficult to handle alone. A mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, MAP can provide guidance and support.

Build a Support Network

Surround yourself with people who support and care for you. This could be friends, family, support groups, or communities. Having a support network can provide emotional comfort and reduce feelings of isolation.

Learn About Trauma

Understanding how trauma affects your mind and body can empower you to take control of your healing process. Educating yourself about the symptoms and reactions to trauma can also help you recognize your triggers. In this mirror, exercise can help you.

Develop Healthy Coping Strategies

Replace harmful coping mechanisms (like substance abuse or self-harm) with healthy ones. This could include exercise, meditation, journaling, creative activities, or mindfulness practices.

Take Care of Your Body

Physical health can significantly impact mental health. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and avoiding alcohol and drugs can help your body recover.

Practice Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness and meditation can help you stay grounded in the present moment, reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and anxiety. You can use mirror exercises to ground yourself and feel peaceful.

Set Boundaries

Learn to set boundaries to protect your emotional and mental well-being. It’s okay to say no or to distance yourself from people or situations that trigger your trauma.

Be Patient with Yourself

Healing from trauma is not linear and can take time. Be patient with yourself and acknowledge the progress you make, even if it’s small.

Create a Routine

A consistent routine can provide a sense of stability and normalcy, which is crucial in the aftermath of trauma.

Focus on Empowerment

Work on rebuilding your sense of control and empowerment. This could involve setting personal goals, engaging in activities that make you feel strong and capable, or helping others.

Do both Twin Flames need to work on traumas?

Yes, if both Twin Flames have experienced traumas then both need to work on it. Both Twin Flames’ core choices are always the same. If one chooses healing that one core choice influences the choice of another Twin Flame. As one Twin Flame gets healed compassionately he gives time and space to his counterpart lovingly and guides another.

However, if you are asking “do Twin Flames get similar injuries?” the answer is no, both can have different injuries but core choices are the same. One Twin Flame makes the core choice of healing; it influences the core choice of another Twin Flame.

Same as Twin Flame psychological trauma, is that inherent? No, Twin Flame psychological trauma is not inherent; it is shaped by the unique life experiences, challenges, and relationships each individual encounters throughout their personal journey.
