The Power of Words: Structure is the New Healing

Aug 21 / Kat Linquist
Imagine you’re riding a bike, and suddenly a car comes speeding by and passes too close to you, causing you to turn and crash…

You break your leg, arm, and some ribs, hit your head and receive a concussion, scrapes and road burn on your hands and arms… it’s pretty bad… so you go to the Hospital.

There, the doctors realign your bones, give you a cast (a structure) to help stabilize the parts which need to heal and reconnect, recommend some rest and nourishment… and TIME for the newly aligned parts to strengthen within the new structure, which later can be removed when things have solidified into the alignment that supports your body to function at its best. 
Now, imagine if you didn’t go to the hospital, but instead went to a stranger’s house, who was not equipped to help you. 

However, being kind-hearted and wanting to “save you”,  they let you stay until things started to “get better”, at least on the outside.  They did what they could, but it wasn’t the right support or structure for you to be in.

And because you didn’t get the bones set and supported, they became infected and “reconnected” in a maladjusted way. 

The infection affected other parts of the body and spread, causing various ailments and degeneration within the body. 

How can we apply this Analogy to Adoption Pain and Trauma?

This is what happens to Adoptees, as we were not given the supportive and helpful structure to realign and create healthy pathways through our trauma of separation.

Our separation from our first families is the “Break” we experienced, which created a tremendous amount of pain. 

Then we were placed into a structure (adoptive family) which tried to give us the support we needed.   

Unfortunately, the underlying “break” was not addressed, and we grew up living in the FOG of rejection or abandonment, identity loss, and unresolved pain without realizing it.

Adult adoptees continue to live with that underlying break, festering and infecting various parts of their lives – relationships, self-love, employment, purpose, and meaning for even being alive, because the structure they were given didn’t support them. 

It failed them.  Deeply.

If you are an adoptee who has been “coming out of the FOG” and growing in your awareness of your Adoption Trauma and Pain, it’s like waking up to that unhealed body, and facing the “reality” of the life you were handed. 

And now where do you go for help?

Fortunately, life is about living in Structures.  And now as adults we can change and choose the structure we live in. We no longer need to live in the Adoption Trauma Structure. 

We can shift our perspective of Adoption Trauma as a lifelong problem to be solved into a set of circumstances we can move through and beyond, to come out better on the other side. 

The New Way to Heal

The New Way to “HEAL” is by moving into the Creative Structure, where we get to live a Life we Love, rather than spend the rest of our life fixing or solving the problem of our Adoption Pain.

I travelled through a 10-year journey to figure out how to reframe my Adoption Trauma and create the ART of Becoming a Powerful Creator.   And now I am so proud to share this journey with YOU in a way that won’t take you 10 years of struggle and groping blinding in the dark, hoping to find your way. (which was how I did it!)

Moving into the Creative Structure takes a certain amount of courage, trust, and a willingness to view the world and your life from a new perspective.  It means letting go of the pain, and focusing on what you desire and deserve in your life, and manifesting the Joy that is your Birthright.

The Creative Structure helps you to live in the Present moment, to love yourself, know your limitless possibilities, and connect with the Universe and your Higher Self.

If you are ready to Move Beyond Adoption (MBA), and want to learn more about the Creative Structure so YOU can step into becoming the Powerful Creative YOU, keep reading and join our MBA community to receive more support and guidance FROM Adoptees, FOR Adoptees.

Adoption didn’t Break You, and it’s not a Life Sentence of Pain and Trauma. 

You CAN move Through and Beyond Adoption to live your Best Life.  I’m here to support and guide you along this journey.
