Hey amazing humans! Let’s get real about trauma recovery for a sec. It’s like trying to untangle a ball of yarn that’s been through a blender, a hurricane, and then used as a cat toy for three years. You know it needs to be done, but where do you even start?
Raise your hand if you’ve ever thought:
-
“Is this feeling normal, or am I just… uniquely chaotic?” 🙋♀️
-
“I thought I dealt with this. Why is it back, wearing a tiny sombrero, mocking me?” 🤦♂️
-
“My brain feels like a browser with 300 tabs open, 290 of them are existential crises.” 🤯
Yeah, you’re not alone. The journey to healing isn’t a straight line; it’s more like a roller coaster designed by a caffeinated squirrel. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to ride it solo.
Here’s the deal with trauma and healing:
-
It’s Not a Race: There’s no gold medal for “fastest to feel fine.” Your pace is your pace. Think of it as a marathon where occasionally you stop for snacks, a nap, and a good cry.
-
Small Wins are HUGE: Did you get out of bed today? Drink some water? Didn’t yell at inanimate objects (much)? 🎉 Celebrate those wins! They add up.
-
