If you never heal from what hurt you,
you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you.
— Unknown
My favourite therapist respectfully, gently, patiently taught me about unconscious triggers and intricate layers of emotion. This is stuff you just don’t learn at school, and probably not from the family of origin either. This is deep and complicated work because much of what hurt us is basically left for dead… only it’s not. It sits under our feet, like thick, tangled roots pushing up on the road and wreaking havoc in our most precious relationships. Most of us were left hurt and scared at too young an age to manage any level of understanding or processing of emotions. I’m not gonna lie. Going back to “save” the younger self is difficult and quite terrifying at times. But wow, what a new lease on life. So! For those brave warriors, who are willing to poke around the graveyard a bit, the best really is yet to come. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
