The last couple of years, I’ve been on an incredible mental health journey. I’m currently in the middle of trauma-informed care, and it’s a really challenging yet productive experience that has changed my life. I’m learning that tuning into how I feel and expressing my emotions without fear or shame isn’t just okay - it’s essential for my wellbeing.
Trauma-informed care has taught me to prioritize self-care and to create boundaries around managing my own energy. This doesn’t always come naturally to me, so I’m grateful to have an amazing therapist providing guidance every step of the way.
This journey has taught me that seeking out help is a form of self-love, not a sign of weakness as I initially believed. It also shone a light on traumas triggered by past experiences that were buried too deep and given me clarity on how those moments have influenced certain behaviors in my life.
What makes this journey truly remarkable is how connected I now feel with myself and the people around me - something that was missing before. Overall, this experience has helped me take responsibility for both my physical and mental wellbeing with compassion and understanding.
