Trauma is also a complex web of deceptions about our self-worth and life circumstances. It tells us that we are not good enough, that we are unlovable, unworthy, incapable, unsafe, bad, weak, and so on; it infects us with negative core, all-or-nothing beliefs about ourselves that aren’t true or rationally justified. Such a web may have been initially spun by one or many spiders, but we unknowingly and unintentionally take over the job of spinning this web ourselves.
