The Beginning

The Beginning

I am on a journey trying to embrace my trauma. I need to stop fighting the flashbacks and triggers and allow them to exist in my life. I need to stop beating myself up for being like this. I went through things that some people wouldn’t be able to imagine and I came out the other side. I have worked very hard to rebuild myself. I, however, did not leave space to accept the scars I had gotten along the way. Instead of nursing my wounds and allowing myself to heal naturally, I have been trying to force them to close and disappear. This is where I have to find the grace to let myself embrace them. Embrace the horrors my brain is still trying to process by returning to those moments. Accept that I am not ok and I have a long way to go. Reminding myself of how far I have come. What better way to embrace who I am, than to share my journey. With hopes that maybe it can

even help you learn to Embrace Your Trauma along the way.
