7 Ways That Childhood Trauma Affects Your Ability To Find Your Earthmate-Soulmate

By: Alina Frank
Categories: Relationships, Trauma

Childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on all areas of life, including relationships and the ability to attract a soulmate-earthmate. I define earthmate as someone with whom you are completely compatible in terms of values and traits, which is the key to making life together a joyful experience.

Whether it's abuse, neglect, abandonment, or other forms of trauma, negative childhood experiences can shape the way individuals perceive themselves, others, and relationships, leading to patterns of behavior that can make it challenging to form healthy, loving relationships.

Here are seven ways that childhood trauma can affect the ability to attract a soulmate.

1. Low self-esteem

Childhood trauma can lead to low self-esteem and negative self-image, causing individuals to believe they are unworthy of love and affection. This can lead to self-sabotaging behavior, such as settling for unhealthy relationships or pushing away potential partners.

2. Trust issues

Childhood trauma can also result in trust issues, making it difficult for individuals to let others in and form close relationships. This can lead to feelings of anxiety and fear in relationships, causing individuals to distance themselves from potential partners or end relationships before they have a chance to develop.

3. Difficulty with intimacy

Childhood trauma can also lead to difficulty with intimacy and vulnerability, making it difficult to open up to others and form deep, meaningful connections. This can lead to feeling isolated and lonely, even in relationships, and make it challenging to attract a soulmate who is willing to be patient and understanding.

4. Fear of abandonment

Childhood trauma can also lead to a fear of abandonment, causing individuals to cling to relationships or avoid them altogether. This can lead to co-dependent or emotionally unstable relationships, making it challenging to attract a soulmate who is willing to commit and build a healthy, long-lasting relationship.

5. Unhealthy coping mechanisms

Childhood trauma can lead to the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse or compulsive behaviors. These behaviors can negatively impact relationships and make it challenging to attract a soulmate who is willing to support and help overcome these issues.

6. Difficulty with communication

Childhood trauma can also lead to difficulty with communication, making it challenging to express emotions and needs in relationships. This can lead to misunderstandings and conflict, making it difficult to attract a soulmate who is willing to work through these issues and build a strong, communicative relationship.

7. Projecting past traumas

Finally, childhood trauma can lead to projecting past traumas onto present relationships, causing individuals to see potential partners as threats or to become overly attached and dependent. This can lead to unstable and unhealthy relationships, making it challenging to attract a soulmate who is willing to work through these issues and build a healthy relationship.

All seven of these can be worked on thoroughly using EFT and with the right support and guidance, individuals can work through these issues and build healthy, loving relationships. It's important to seek help and work through any childhood traumas, in order to increase the likelihood of attracting a soulmate-earthmate who is willing to support and love you unconditionally.
