I'm in Therapy
I won't hide the fact that I'm in therapy, nor will I lie about its significance in my healing journey. It has played a crucial role in helping me navigate the complexities of my trauma, which I simply couldn't do alone. I wholeheartedly advocate for therapy as an essential part of healing. There's no reason to fear it; it's time to stop listening to societal stigma and the negative opinions of friends and family. My trauma is extensive, messy, and complicated, and as I've mentioned before, its impact on my life has been huge.
Every week, I attend therapy, and it's not just about conversation. It involves developing a plan, setting goals, and identifying your needs. At times, it also includes assessments to evaluate your current situation, understand your requirements, and determine what support you need for your journey ahead.
With each therapy session, I uncover another layer of myself, gaining new insights and understanding concepts like abandonment and people-pleasing, along with their impact on my life. Most importantly, I'm learning to evolve into a better version of myself. While I may have stumbled as a mother in certain aspects of life, faced challenges in my relationships, felt unwanted as a child, experienced toxic friendships, and struggled with addictions—including moments when I considered ending my life—I know there is one person in my life who deserves the cycle of dysfunction and generational curse to stop at him. Above all, I want him to see me as the best version of myself.
The day I held him marked a turning point in my life. No matter how challenging my health journey becomes as I continue to heal, he will always be my motivator and my source of inspiration.His presence in my life has given me a renewed sense of purpose and the strength to persevere, even when things seem daunting. Every smile, every small milestone he achieves reminds me of the beauty and joy in the world.
Through him, I've discovered unconditional love and the power of hope. He is a constant reminder that life, with all its ups and downs, is a precious gift. As I continue to navigate my health journey, I do so with the comforting knowledge that I am moving forward not just for myself, but for him.
Exploring new adventures, embracing nature, and simply savoring the present moment.
