Trauma healing isn't linear

Reminders for you.

We are healing even though triggers bring us back to where we thought we healed.

We are not falling back.

It is not a step back.

The path is just slowly and painfully unfolding.

Stop beating ourselves up.

Healing is hard, difficult, painful at times and even hell.

But it's worth it. We are worth it.

Just because we are struggling doesn't mean we are failing.

Give ourselves time.

It's ok if all we did today is staying alive.

Be gentle to ourselves.

We deserve to heal.
