I spent the vast majority of my 20s and early 30s dealing with trauma from my past. And for many years what ‘dealing with trauma,’ looked like for me, was denial and suppression. But when you suppress pain that is begging to be brought to light, it only makes it fester. And no matter how far down you bury …
To Compare is to Despair; Here’s What to do Instead Read More »
My past sifted to the surface recently after many, many years of laying dormant. And although I had dealt with most of it, I was still feeling some of the pain. Over the years when it came up for me it was a true shock to my system. I would be blindsided by it and …
No one can lockdown your mind. And no one can lockdown your heart. There is power in those that no one has control over, but you. You are in control of how you view the world and how you feel about life. You choose where you put your focus. And what you focus on, in …
