Picture this….
You’re in a heated argument. Words have been said. Triggers have been tripped. Everyone involved is clearly NOT happy. However… this time, instead of retreating into old habits, letting old wounds flair up and take over, you have a handful of coping mechanisms to draw from.
You choose a tool, and you’re able to defuse the situation without reverting back to old ways. Instead, you come out of the moment NOT feeling further traumatized.
Or maybe…
You get a phone call that reminds you of that deep, scarring loss once again .You cry a little (but that’s okay). Only this time, instead of hiding in bed for days on end you journal, pray, and move your body in a healthy way. Then you’re able to spend the rest of your day with the realization that you’re getting stronger, more aware of how to deal with loss, and adapting to your new normal.
Finally, you feel like you have the tools to live emotionally healthy.
