The healing process is ugly as hell. It’s not bubble baths and aromatherapy. It’s accountability which brings guilt. It’s getting to the root of your issues which is triggering and intense. Processing trauma often means you have to relive it which isn’t easy but it’s worth it.

I attended my first weekend group therapy seminar at the urging of my partner at the time, and was instantly mesmerized. The therapist, who became my favourite, trusted therapist, opened the weekend with the disclaimer that a weekend session will not change your life. He went on to say deep healing takes time and is not for the faint of heart because you pretty much have to relive trauma in order to truly process and resolve deep rooted issues. Much of the work focuses on early childhood events and emotions, that we are unable to understand or process at the time, and that tend to keep us stuck. I became hooked on therapy, particularly group work, because of the safe space, the camaraderie and support from the other participants, and the osmosis learning from each person in the room. It’s demanding work, but the load is immensely lighter on the other side. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
