The traumatized brain is hardwired to handle chaos. Imagine reaching a peaceful place in your life & not even getting to enjoy it because it feels like a trap. Healing changes that.....slowly most of the time....but peace starts to be peaceful when your brain becomes rewired for safety & your nervous system understands the war is over. For myself when I feel overwhelmed or stressed....I have to be alone for a little bit & remind myself I'm safe now. Tapping, meditation, self soothing, healing frequencies, self care, affirmations, writing, talking it out when I'm ready, warm baths, going to nature, lavender. 🫶
The things that hurt us aren't coming back to fix us. We are responsible for healing the wounds. We can be mad at how the past changed us, stay bitter at the situation, be angry we have to do the work.
Or we can start with self love & self soothing. ❤️🙌
Its gonna feel strange at first.
Learn to recognize when everything really is OK & remind yourself you are safe now....Don't run to create comfortable chaos. Sit with yourself.
🫶❤️ Trace the feeling to their roots....Where did I learn peace wasn't safe? Where did I learn that I don't deserve peace or good things? Where did people hurt me so that I can't trust myself? What did my trauma take from me & how do I get that back?
We deserve peace & to enjoy it when it visits. 🥹
