Getting Stuck in Adolescent Contracts

How the decisions we make in our teenage years follow us into our adult self

The decisions we make in the chaos of adolescence are often in reaction to our experience of our family body and the world at large. This stems from a rationalization of uncomfortable emotions that we are not ready to deal with. We form rigid beliefs around our harder to feel emotions and stick to them as we age. Sometimes this piles on to reflect a collective unconscious within the family system that needs healing.
