Answer to: Is mental trauma from an online relationship as valid as one in real life?

ByDorothy M. Neddermeyer Ph.D.

Excellent question. Feelings are based on experiences, beliefs, and thoughts. Based on your beliefs and thoughts about your experiences drives your feelings.

Sounds simple…right? Not so fast. There are many experiences that formed our beliefs and thoughts which drive our feelings, that we do not remember, especially if the experiences are from a prior incarnation(s).

We draw to us what our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings dictate from all incarnations. Therefore, it is incumbent upon humans to process the beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that prompt one to continue in a relationship that is mental/emotional abuse. As an adult, no one can cause mental trauma without one’s participation/consent.

As Harry Palmer stated, “We experience what we believe. If we don’t believe that we experience what we believe, then we don’t, which still means the first statement is true.”

It is irrelevant whether the relationship is online or face-to-face. The question becomes then, “What prompts me to connect/draw someone into my life who is abusive and then I question my perception?

The minimum equation for each person is awareness plus primal creation = essential self. The essential self is generally expressed as “I am.”

You have stepped away from your essential self….when you question your experience. You need to discover what old beliefs and decisions you are allowing yourself to live in versus living the life you desire and deserve.

You need to discover the source and process your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings to upgrade in order to move on in your life with peace of mind and happiness.

The secret to personal happiness is held at the unconscious, subconscious, cellular, and soul levels. Easy to discover how to create mental/ emotional health and happiness.

When you have achieved mental/emotional, physical empowerment, peace of mind, and happiness you can live life on your terms.
