Title: The Childhood Vows You Don't Know You're Living By
Description:
Many of the beliefs that shape our lives were never consciously chosen. They were survival decisions made in childhood during moments of fear, rejection, pressure, shame, abandonment, or emotional pain.
These hidden "childhood vows" can sound like:
"I have to do everything myself."
"It's safer to stay invisible."
"I can't trust anyone."
"I have to be perfect to be accepted."
Over time, these vows become the invisible operating system behind our relationships, emotional triggers, self-worth, success patterns, and even parenting styles.
In this powerful and deeply engaging presentation, Kathi Sohn introduces audiences to the concept of childhood vows and explains how these early decisions become embodied patterns that continue influencing adult life long after the original circumstances have passed.
Attendees leave with a new understanding of themselves, greater self-compassion, and a practical framework for identifying the hidden beliefs that may be keeping them stuck.
Audience Takeaways:
• Learn what childhood vows are and how they form
• Understand the connection between childhood experiences and adult behaviors
• Recognize common survival patterns that affect relationships and confidence
• Replace self-blame with understanding and awareness
• Begin identifying the root cause beneath recurring life patterns
