Trauma and healing

You don’t have to be fully healed to fully live

You don’t have to be fully healed to fully live.

Healing is a process and quite often there’s not an A-HA moment where you’re just suddenly healed and everything is ok.

Healing is a process of continuously doing the work.

Healing is a process of continuously showing up for your younger self who needs your understanding, and in some instances forgiveness.

Healing is a process of showing up for your future self who wants to live an authentic life with less suffering.

Yes, it’s unfair that even though trauma might not be your fault, it’s your responsibility to heal.

Taking responsibility and doing the work is an antidote to the helplessness created by trauma.

I’ll say it again…

You don’t have to be fully healed to fully live.
