Horoscope♉:
12/07/2019

This is a good day to vocalize your feelings. By speaking about a problem out loud, you’ll eventually talk your way to a solution. By externalizing what’s going on in your head, the issue is somehow easier to handle. Keeping it all inside gives it very little room to move around. You’re closer to a solution than you think. Find your voice and the answer will find you.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch

QUOTA: Trauma permanently changes us. (CATHERINE WOODWISS)

https://pin.it/kpe3ksukdvjcf4

Your trauma is valid.

Even if other people have experienced “worse.” Even if someone else who went through the same experience doesn’t feel debilitated by it. Even if it “could have been avoided.” Even if it happened a long time ago. Even if no one knows. Your trauma is real and valid and you deserve a space to talk about it. It isn’t desperate or pathetic or attention-seeking. It’s self-care. It’s inconceivably brave. And regardless of the magnitude of your struggle, you’re allowed to take care of yourself by processing and unloading some of the pain you carry. Your pain matters. Your experience matters. And your healing matters. Nothing and no one can take that away.

“Trauma permanently changes us.

This is the big. scary truth about trauma: there is no such thing as “getting over it.” The five stages of grief model marks universal stages in learning to accept loss, but the reality is in fact much bigger: a major life disruption leaves a new normal in its wake. There is no “back to the old me.” You are different now. full stop.

This is not a wholly negative thing. Healing from trauma can also mean hnding new strength and joy. The goal of healing is not a papering-over of changes in an effort to preserve or present things as normal. It is to acknowledge and wear your new life warts, wisdom, and all with courage.”
