What Core Wound Is Sabotaging Your Success?

What core wound is sabotaging your success in business, life, and health? Exploring the 4 common core wounds behind so many of the challenges we can have in achieving business, financial, relationship, and health success.

What is a Core Wound?

A core wound is a deep psychological wound that makes a large imprint on our psyche. Core wounds leave very distorted limiting beliefs in our unconscious. Many deep core wounds form before 7 years of age, an important time in a child’s development when we form certain narratives, patterns, and behaviours.

Although core wounds can develop later in life most deeper wounding is formed in these early years. It is often the deeper wounding, the deeper layer of pain behind many unhealthy patterns and traits that sabotage different areas of our lives.

How Core Wounds Begin

Core wounds begin when one moves from a state of authentic freedom and the receiver of unconditional love, into different states of mental, emotional, physical, or even spiritual wounding and pain. That is formed from judgment rejection, and punishment from others when we don’t conform to certain behaviours, and ideologies of those around us.

On a spiritual level, it is when the soul feels disconnected from love in many ways at an unconscious level the soul feels disconnected from god.

Core Wounds And Unconscious Sabotaging Beliefs

Core wounds are interrelated to a variety of unconscious sabotaging beliefs and archetypal traits that keep us stuck in unhealthy self-sabotaging beliefs, patterns, attractions, and manifestations.

4 Core Wounds That May Be Sabotaging Your Success

Guilt Wound

Guilt wounding can keep us small, and keep us stuck in archetypal patterns where we get embroiled in others’ emotional pain and suffering. Become the caregiver, helper, servant, rescuer, hero, and warrior in its shadow form.

The Inner child feels guilty for things they are not responsible for, guilty for the suffering and pain of those around them and in the collective. Struggles to set boundaries and struggles to ask for help or receive it in life. Tend to attract people who will use all sorts of manipulation tactics to get them to feel sorry for them, do things for them, and get their attention.

You see this in a lot of empaths and those brought up in a highly strict religious background where guilt was used to manipulate and control.

Displaced guilt can trigger all sorts of unhealthy patterns and behaviors such as overgiving and under receiving in business. Constantly attract those who don’t want to pay or appreciate your value, such as those stuck in their victim archetype or eternal archetype who don’t want to take self-responsibility for their challenges.

Abandonment Wound

Abandonment wounding can stop us make true genuine deep connections in business with our ideal audience and business connections.The abandoned inner child always feels left out and can unintentionally keep themself on the sidelines by their thoughts and behaviours. They struggle to be alone, left out, or appear different. Tend to create co-dependent relationships and co-dependent issues in situations. Tend to attract partners, friends, and other relationships with those who are emotionally unavailable.

In the spiritual business, this can show up as the business that wants to try and serve everyone and is so focused on not leaving anyone out. So busy trying to cater to anyone or everyone their messaging speaks to no one or very few. That is why they can struggle to make deep connections or make any real impact. Their deep desire to be accepted, and belong can make it difficult for their ideal audience to get to know them at a deeper authentic soul level.

Trust Wound

Trust wounding can create all sorts of chaos in business and success. The problem with this major core wound in business is their lack of trust in themselves which shows up in lack of trust in all areas of their life.

Those with trust wounds are so insecure and so afraid to be hurt, that they can be very suspicious, and look for reasons not to trust others. Some tend to be more loners or attract others who don’t feel safe and are also insecure, so there are a lot of trust issues in these relationships.

In any business, trust in your gifts, skills, expertise, your business, and your offerings is paramount. You also have to trust the people you work with, and the clients you serve if you don’t you will attract all sorts of unhealthy situations that reinforce further lack of trust.

Neglect Wound

Neglecting wounding where someone has very low self-worth often attracts all sorts of challenges that reflect that unworthiness. Such as struggling to attract clients, co-partners, and relationships that don’t value, appreciate, or see them no matter how skilled, gifted, or experienced they are they can feel invisible, feel taken for granted, and be undervalued.

Neglect wounding is a core wound that can show up in a lot of repressed emotions, and a struggle to be vulnerable. Wounding that can cause a lot of empaths to become so focused on others they don’t care for themselves and suffer empathic burnout.
