I’ve had experiences in my life that have taken a toll on my mental health. From childhood traumas to living with anxiety and depression later on in adulthood, I have faced challenges when it comes to taking care of my mental wellness.
When I first started seeking mental health support, I had no idea about the term “trauma-informed care” and what that meant for me. It took some time to learn, through books, blogs, and conversations with professionals, how trauma shapes who we are today, and how essential it is to practice trauma-informed self-care in order move forward in life.
Through therapy and medication, as well as lifestyle changes like mindful movement practices like yoga and breath work, I have been able to understand the underlying issues.�These revelations allowed me to stay in tune more with myself on a daily basis.
For anyone who has faced similar challenges: find something that works specifically for you—whether it’s therapy or other forms of healing modalities—and make sure you take the time out everyday to take good care of yourself. That is truly the most important step toward a healthier mental space.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like you have done a lot of hard work when it comes to caring for your mental health, and I’m sure many out there can relate. Everyone processes trauma differently and the journey to healing will look different for everyone.
I understand the importance of practicing self-care but also recognize how difficult it can be sometimes. However, I think it’s important to remember that even the smallest act of care can help make a difference. Try to identify what works best for you and build small habits into your life that will promote healing, such as journaling, meditating or listening to music.
No matter which path you take on your journey to healing, know that you are not alone in this and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it!
