Adoption is a Beginning, but Not the Whole Story
Adoption is often described as a beautiful solution — creating families, offering new chances, and transforming lives. But for many adoptees, it also begins with a loss: the loss of a biological connection, of familiarity, and often, a sense of identity.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about acknowledging what was lost, so we can begin the journey of healing and reclaiming what was never fully understood.
Naming the Wound
For many adoptees, the pain isn’t always visible. It might show up as:
- Feeling like you don’t quite belong, even in a loving home.
- A deep need to “people please” to avoid abandonment.
- Anxiety or depression that doesn’t have an obvious root.
- Curiosity or guilt around your birth family and your past.
Before we can heal, we must acknowledge the wound. You don’t have to justify your feelings. Your story is valid, and your emotions are real.
Understanding the Hidden Layers
Beneath the surface of adoption is a complex mix of:
- Pre-verbal trauma: Even if you were adopted as a baby, your nervous system remembers the separation.
- Loyalty conflicts: Feeling guilty for wanting to know your roots, even if you’re grateful to your adoptive family.
- Unanswered questions: Who am I? Why was I placed for adoption? What traits are mine, and which are inherited?
Exploring these layers gently — with curiosity instead of judgment — is a powerful step toward healing.
Hypnosis & Regression: A Safe Space to Explore
As a certified hypnotist, I work with adoptees to access the subconscious mind — the place where early emotional imprints live. Through tools like:
- Inner child work
- Past life regression
- Parts therapy
…you can begin to make sense of your story beyond the facts. You can connect to lost parts of yourself, find answers that logic alone can’t offer, and begin to rewrite the beliefs that have held you back.
Healing Doesn’t Mean Forgetting
Healing from adoption doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t happen. It means:
- Creating space for grief, curiosity, and joy to coexist
- Reclaiming your voice, your story, your identity
- Establishing internal safety, so you’re no longer defined by abandonment or the need to be chosen
You get to decide who you are. You get to heal on your terms.
You’re Not Alone
Whether you’re just beginning to explore your adoption story or you’ve carried its weight for years, know this: healing is possible. It’s not linear, and it doesn’t have to happen all at once. But step by step, you can come home to yourself.
