We all have parts of ourselves that are wanting the best for us, but does not treat us in the ways that we ultimately deserve. We have to meet the voices where they are while also demanding, claiming and declaring what we know will nourish ourselves best. Through adverse experiences, how can we give ourselves permission to do things differently than we ever have before? There will always be neigh sayers, even if they are literal real parts of yourself! I even want to challenge you to question if you created it or if it was passed down pain from ways you have been modeled to in how life looks yet, how you can imagine how life COULD ultimately look. Over time, we integrate these parts of ourselves that deny us because we learn slowly and surely how to own them as these shadow parts of self. Consider resistance as part of arriving to your process. Consider the discomfort and resistance to leaning in like a rubber band slingshot that gets to up level you to the next moments of feeling triggered so that you can foster awareness and comfort where discomfort used to be. Here are some symptoms of trauma that include but that are not limited to shock, denial, disbelief, paranoia, dysmorphia, confusion, difficulty concentrating, anger, irritability, mood swings, anxiety and fear, guilt, shame, self-blame, withdrawing from others, feeling overwhelmed, sad or hopeless, feeling disconnected or numb in your experience. It is not for the brain to figure out but more for the body to move. They feel so big because of what they represent generationally. Prioritize nurturing support. You are worth it every single time; I promise. I love you. Be well. http://www.magicmomentsplay.com
