Trauma is interesting.
I have devoted my life to helping folks heal trauma only to realize that my own trauma was largely undealt with.
And it was having huge consequences on my work and impact.
I have spent a lot of time focusing on my wounds and then earning my worth, hiding behind my credentials as a therapist to give my life meaning and worth.
I prided myself on giving the right answers and being so terrified of being wrong.
And I didn’t know the power of choosing, seriously just deciding that things would be different.
It definitely takes walking hand-in-hand with my wounds, releasing stored trauma, seeing patterns and then deciding that things will be different.
I am so grateful for all that I have experienced over the past few years.
I am grateful for the lessons and the pain and sorrow and I am grateful that I am relearning how to carry joy with me.
I am relearning how to be joy and let it fill me up from the inside out even when I am still in debt, I am still uncertain about so many things in my life, and when everything feels so fragile.
What lessons are you learning these days?
