π€ ~I wish I could just close my eyes and every ounce of trauma be zapped right out of my body, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t happen that way. Trauma comes in many forms and we don’t always see these situations as actual trauma.
π€ ~Especially if we are living in the midst of it, we tend to ‘normalize’ verbal abuse. They say to just ‘get over it’ and move on, but that is not always realistic for every person. We are all different, we are all created differently.
π©΅ ~Some of us are much more sensitive than others, some of us are more harsh than others. Some of us can just let things roll off our backs while others of us internalize it all, down to the way an abusive person looks at us.
π€ ~Trauma in my life started at a very young age. This is something I have only talked about maybe twice my life. Seems like we talk about trauma from our childhood and many people say ‘you grew up, get over it.’ Well, for this gal, that is just not possible now. I have found out so many things this past year of my life, that I cannot even fathom some of it.
π©΅ ~Lies my ‘mother’ told me throughout my entire life, that now just pretty much eat me alive from within. Any of y’all been through something similar? I would love for you to reach out to me! I would love to hear your story and learn how you are coping or if you have even begun to deal with it.
π€ ~Life is never easy, we all know that, but these types of trauma just derail us in such an unexpected way. If I didn’t have Jesus and my very few special people that are here for me, including my amaaazing, handsome son, my person, my heartbeat, myyy Cayden love, every step of the way, I am not sure where I would be right now! I would not be in a place emotionally where I could even function!
π©΅ ~I want all of you to know that if you are going through trauma of any kind, it is okay to not be okay! I promise you, it is! The stigma around having to just be tough all the time and not deal with things is so awful!
π©΅ ~It is okay to not be okay! Yes, I said that again! Please repeat that to yourself! Please! And then know, what is not okay is to just ‘stay’ there. We don’t want to stay there but we have to stay there until we can use our self-care tools and Jesus to help us begin to move forward out of it.
β€οΈ ~This is only the very beginning of me sharing my trauma journey! I want y’all to know that I am here for you! I appreciate all of your continued support! Be back with y’all soon!
π€ ~much love, y’all!~ β€οΈ
π€π ~christina love~ β€οΈ
