Going through a healing process is a unique kind of validation.
It acknowledges the pain of the survivor, while teaching a new language for a new kind of wholeness.
It is tricky to continue to interact with the world.
It requires acknowledgement of mental and emotional prison bars.
Historically suppressed expression has many layers to deal with.
Discovering how to meet needs which have never even been acknowledged is challenging.
There is no vocabulary for them.
Other coping skills filled in instead.
Living with the misunderstanding of people who mean well has its own challenges.
Replacing frustration with acceptance is a huge step.
You will find your own way.
Indeed, you are the only one who can do it.
Other paths will not suffice.
But, you will find yours.
Your commitment makes that a given.
