The planet is riddled with trauma victims. It colors many things and challenges most of us in some way--even if indirectly, through our personal experiences with sufferers. Often it is hidden from consciousness in many.
Healing trauma and becoming resilient over new onslaughts of it are the entire trek for many of us.
If trauma is key, all is not hopeless! It can go a lot of ways, though, it seems. It depends on if people get the help and support that they need--if they even recognize that they need help and support.
The "help" that actually helps keeps changing, as more is learned about what happens to us through traumatizing experiences--what gets modified in our brains during the wounding process, and what things assist modification in our brains during the healing process.
I am seeing some old stuff in new light. This has brought me some feelings of grief. From past experience, I know that for me to heal this grief, I must honor my Truths, experience and allow the grief, without creating more trauma or drama for myself. Gratefully, I am familiar with the process. I know this dance. And I welcome it.
I find that grief moves at its own speed--sometimes for me, this is slowly! But things do shift if I am patient and I allow my feelings without recoiling from them, and specifically, without creating more trauma for myself. Not creating more trauma during healing work is also a learning process. I have had to get support to learn how not to do this.
Now I know the process. It is repeatable. It works. I am exceedingly grateful, even for the hard stuff. All experiences eventually bring me to a place of joy and gratitude for the gift of this journey of living!
Love, Hugs and Blessings,
Barbara
