It's okay to admit Trauma

It's okay to admit that you had a hard time with what happened. If you're from a broken home, it's okay to admit that it affected you. If you had a failed relationship, an accident, or been insulted, it's fine to admit that it also affected you. It’s not your fault, really. You're not obligated to take the blame for what you're not responsible for. But I want you to realize this, you would have to take your time and space to heal through that experience.

“Hold yourself back, or heal yourself back together. You decide.” ― Brittany Burgunder

In trauma recovery, you have to give yourself room to feel what you feel without judging it. Yeah, WHATEVER YOU FEEL.

Your feelings aren't "bad" and you're not bad for feeling them. No matter what "they" might have controlled you to believe.

Take your time to recover, a time when you are trying to understand yourself more and sitting with your emotions. A time when all you do is try a hundred ways to get your spark back. Nurturing your body and soul trying to be better. You don't have to ignore what is completely outside. But realize that no matter what is going to happen, you are going to heal yourself first. Until you finally grow your wings and are ready to bring the new you to the outside world.

“Healing is like an onion. As you process through one layer of trauma to release the pain and heal, a new layer will surface. One layer after another layer will bring up new issues to focus on. Pace yourself. Only focus on one layer at a time.” ― Dana Arcuri
