You’re nervous system doesn’t have to tell the story of your life. We can learn to be with our fear and other big emotions and heal old wounds.

As we learn to sit with our big emotions and soothe ourselves in states of dysregulation, we can once again become the narrator, then the author, of our lives.

You can be grateful for what you have AND still want more.

Nothing is wrong with you for wanting more nor does it make you an ungrateful person.

It’s really a practice of stepping into your worth and believing you are deserving of more.

When we believe this from the inside, the solutions start coming to us.

(For some gender psychology: women often feel less deserving and are more likely to put up with lower standards. This is their version of not believing their power. Men are made to feel like they need things to feel like they’re enough, but don’t have access to their true power, so will use control. From my understanding, non-binary genders will fall closest to women. I open to better knowledge here!

Thanks to the client who brought this topic up and helped me realize how the “just be grateful” thread runs through my female ancestry lineage.

As adults, we can hold both anger and understanding. We can be angry at our parents while also being grateful to them.

As kids, we didn’t have that capacity. And it was to unsafe to make our parents wrong, so we decide we were wrong- more accurately, that something was wrong with us.

If we just lean towards understanding and gratitude now, we deny ourself of expressing the same emotions/anger now. As adults, we can hold both. We can work through the unexpressed anger now, allowing for nervous system and inner child healing, and then settle back into our shared humanity with our parents.

Who would you be without your trauma?
And, how has your trauma gifted you?

Sorry for the poor lighting! But Pacey made up for it 🤭

We do a really good job at praising those of us who are great at memorizing. But what about those of us who visualize? Are hands on? And might process slowly but integrate deeply? Those us have high emotional iqs? And those of us who are unapologetically ourselves?

There’s no need to shame yourself for learning differently. It’s actually a gift.

Just a quick reminder and a small tangent :)

You’re not alone.
The pain is to be witnessed, but not believed.
There’s a child inside of you looking at you for safety.
You can be the warm blanket, the hug she needed then and the one she needs now.
You’ve got this.
Keep going.
