Traumatic Experiences Community Check In - Wednesday 1st March 2017
Can't believe its the 1st March already this year. Time is flying by!!! Hope your all doing good out there!!! What's going on for you, hows life treating you? Healing from traumatic experiences is hard going, its hard work and it can be very much a rollercoaster of a journey. Sometimes you may even question why you are bothering, is it worth it. YES, it is! Because your worth it. Its important to always look after yourself and your needs and to take time out for you and practise some self care when needed. How have you been managing to show a little TLC to yourselves recently? This space is yours, to share whats happening in your world, to say Hi, to let us know if you need some extra support, to share the good days, bad days and inbetween days. This is a safe and supportive daily checkin space for our members.
There are definitely good days and bad. Healing isn't linear - it's full of ups and downs, and I'm still learning new ways of coping all the time :)
@softStar21 You are so right Star :) Healing and recovery is not a straight forward process with many ups and downs, a few steps back sometimes and then more forward. I think sometimes survivors want to do it all quick which is understandable and give themselves a hard time when things dont work as they wish them to be. Patience, self compassion and kindness is important throughout and to recognise and accept, it will be a bumpy ride but not to give up or give in when things get tough but do as you mentioned, find more and more ways to cope effectively. Thank you for sharing :)
