Trauma is not sexy.
It’s dark, heavy & dense.
It can feel like a heaviness in your body or on your heart/in your chest.
If we experience trauma as children, we will typically suppress it and it will not usually resurface until we feel safe. For many this will usually happen when they leave their family of origin home.
Processing trauma is painful and leaves you raw. And this is why so many people avoid it. But recently I realized just how necessary and worth it it is.
First of all, the suffering ends. The pain dissipates.
But more importantly, you finally arrive at PEACE.
Yes, it would be so much easier to GO AROUND IT. And so many do it but it simply does not work.
It’s like trying to detour around a giant boulder on a daily basis.
Or like trying to keep a lid on a boiling pot.
It’s exhausting and simply does not work.
The answer is to go through it.
Find a mentor.
Someone who’s been through it.
Is now on the other side of it.
And can guide you through.
Sending you all so much love!
Love,
Dagmara
