nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. the rage you feel when you realize how much and how long you were taken advantage of. the absolute disgust you feel towards those people that mislead you. it comes in waves, sometimes you’ll feel healed and then it suddenly hits you

In trauma recovery we're physically rerouting neural pathways that've been heavily reinforced for years-- literally reshaping our brain. It's painful because our brain, like any system w/ physical infrastructure, resists change-- until it doesn't. Think consistency & grace.

When someone is drowning, that is not the time to teach them how to swim.

Closure is a myth. Grief doesn't evaporate—it waxes and wanes. The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time. Moving forward after loss is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.

I see why ppl just fall off the grid. You really realize everything we chasing either fake or don’t really matter.

You being “too much” for others will often be a reflection of your ability to speak up about injustice, be vulnerable about the unknown, be honest about hardship and be unapologetic in having questions. Your too muchness is what’s needed for change. Carry on, my friend. Carry on.

people hate when you’re beautiful creepy and intelligent

“Do NOT ever mistake a trauma survivor using their voice as living in the past. You have absolutely no idea how long it took them to find that voice. Be supportive. #trauma
