“We can only heal what we feel” is something I began saying (and accepting) a few years ago now. I believe Thelma Box and Dr. Phil say something similar. May not be the exact quote, but what comes to mind is “You cannot change what you do not acknowledge.”
Sometimes we don’t even realize we are carrying weight…
Sometimes our trauma is buried so deep…and we don’t want to look into exactly how deep…
Sometimes we’re so exhausted because we started the process and it is just TOO much…
Sometimes we isolate thinking that no one can relate…
Sometimes we don’t know that trauma is what it’s called!
Always –
It is well.
We are alright to not be alright.
We can take as much time as we need…Healing isn’t formulaic.
We can process in the ways that best resonate with our hearts.
We can lean into the sadness, the pain, the anger, the weight…all of it…
We can lean back onto the support systems (personal/professional) around us.
Trauma care/help is crucial…The Divine walks alongside us through it.
How can we take just one step in the direction of facing/healing trauma today?
