You Can Heal from Trauma: A Personal Story
Every person experiences difficult situations during their lifetime, but for some, the emotional response to the experience can leave a long-lasting psychic wound. That wound is trauma.
A traumatic event can change the way you think.
Time, contrary to popular belief, does not heal all wounds. A scar might form in time, but the trauma is still there. A trigger—an event or experience that reminds the brain of the original experience— opens it up again, often painfully.It takes time to overcome trauma, but it also takes action. Trauma can only heal when acknowledged and addressed. A therapist can help you rewire the unhealthy thoughts that drive your automatic responses to trauma triggers. Patience and vulnerability are necessary to unlearn emotional patterns that your brain decided to keep you safe. The reward is a life of thriving instead of hiding.
How Do You Overcome a Painful Experience?
Are you troubled by a pattern of behavior that does not serve you? There might be a painful experience in your past driving your reactions.
I believe trauma with a little “t” can cause damage to a person’s wellbeing long after an event has faded. Taking the sting out of the memory, like overcoming big “T” trauma, means taking back control of your emotional reaction.
Understanding Trauma: Awareness is Where Healing Begins
You’re doing all the things—showing up for work, for family, for others. But inside, you might feel like you’re holding your breath… waiting for life to finally feel safe, steady, or peaceful. Maybe you’re tired of reacting to things in ways you don’t fully understand. Maybe you’re wondering, “Why do I still feel this way?”
Here’s the truth:
You’re not too much. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.
You might be carrying trauma.
What Healing Really Looks Like (Hint: It’s Not Always Pretty) (Copy)
Hey sis,
If you’re reading this, I want you to take a deep breath — right here, right now.
Because the truth is… you carry a lot. You’ve likely been carrying it for a long time. Not just your own responsibilities, but the weight of everyone else’s expectations, the unspoken rules, the need to hold it all together.
And sometimes, that weight isn’t even from this season of your life — it’s been passed down, generation after generation. Maybe your mother taught you how to survive. Her mother, too. Maybe no one ever taught you how to rest — how to be soft, still, or supported.
Let’s talk about that. And let’s talk about how you begin to heal.
