In her informative discourse, Sonja unveils the less-talked-about trauma wounds that are often linked with abandonment. These wounds, which could include overgiving, threatening to leave, being clingy, codependency, and trust issues, often lie dormant until triggered. Sonja emphasizes the significance of identifying and harnessing relationships that heal these wounds, thus empowering people to thrive and lead fulfilling lives. Her book, acted as a blueprint for this journey, has now become a lifeline for others battling similar internal conflicts.
With an extraordinary vulnerability, Sonja shares the process of penning her personal experiences into a book in a span of just 30 days. She describes the euphoric moment of holding her first published book, and transcending the private confines of her life to reveal her authentic self to the world. Drawing strength from her painful past, Sonja is turning her pain into purpose.
The latter part of the discussion also reveals Sonja's insights into her upcoming revision of her first book. This revised edition aims to delve deeper into the varied wounds under the umbrella of abandonment trauma, providing a more detailed analysis of the wound, the type of relationship that harbors the wound, and the steps to healing the wound. Sonja believes that healing the wound means strengthening the relationship or walking away from it – either way, it empowers people to disconnect with what's holding them back, enabling them to live their most amazing life.
The interview concludes with Sonja extending advice about resilience to the listeners. She underscores the importance of self-love, of nurturing oneself, of setting boundaries and maintaining peace. It was an uplifting dialogue on the importance of resilience and reaffirms that all of us have the power to heal and grow.
