Understanding your core wounds,
gently explored.
Emotional wounds form in response to real experiences — and over time, they can shape the beliefs we carry about ourselves and others. Read slowly. Notice what feels familiar.
How to Use This Guide
For each wound you'll find what it is, common signs it may be present, and the core beliefs it can create. This isn't a diagnosis — it's a mirror for reflection. If something here resonates strongly, that's worth bringing into a conversation with a therapist or trusted support.
This guide does not diagnose any condition. It's meant to help you recognize patterns worth exploring further, ideally alongside a qualified mental health professional.
Before You Go
Which wound felt most familiar as you read? Naming a wound is not the same as being defined by it. Healing often starts with simply telling the truth about what happened — and it doesn't have to happen alone.
