Trauma Doesn’t Have To Traumatize You
A year ago my husband had an accident on the job he was working. It was a traumatic situation that didn’t traumatize me!! My tendency would have been to make sure my husband and my kids had what they needed during that difficult time but not to think of and care for myself. Instead I walked through those weeks following the accident conscious to what I needed and taking action to make sure I cared for myself. I was able to clearly see the inner healing that had taken place all the months and years prior, and I healed myself even more through the process.
What will you do with the opportunities that present themselves? What happens in life isn’t always comfortable or good, but we can use the situations that come our way for our benefit. Don’t dismiss your feelings, or your grief. Cry. Move your body. Talk it out. Sing. Reach out for support and take advantage of the offers sent your way! Do whatever you need to do to decompress and relieve the pressure.
I walked through the traumatic experience differently than I had in the past. I was purposeful and intentional in what I asked for and what I practiced.
Life offers us gifts in the middle of hardships. It’s up to you whether you will see them or not. Your perspective affects so much.
Have compassion for your past self. Recognize why you chose to live that way and be kind to that version of yourself. Balance that with the desire to get wherever it is you want to be. I’m here to support you get where you want to go!
