This piece beautifully captures the messy and non-linear nature of healing. I really appreciate how you highlight the truth that healing isn’t about avoiding setbacks but about how we respond to them. It’s easy to feel discouraged when we slip back into old patterns, but your reminder that these setbacks don’t erase our progress is so important. Healing is so much more than self-care routines or affirmations—it’s about facing our pain head-on and choosing to move through it, even when it feels impossible. The tiny victories you mention are what make all the difference in the long run. Thank you for sharing such an honest and relatable perspective on the healing journey! 💛
Beautifully written. It is not easy. Even the decision to begin is not easy. It is worth it. We are younger today than we will ever be again and each day is a day closer to taking back our calm nature.

I spend a lot of time looking for the tiny victories, it’s easy for me to get caught up (and ‘spiral’ as my daughters call it!).

Healing certainly does take time and hopefully, as each day passes, things become a little easier and a little calmer 🤎
This is really great information. I have unpacked my trauma but these reminders were helpful.
Thank you for sharing 🤎

I completely agree, we are not the same person as we move through life and we are continually learning how to navigate our experiences and emotions.
