Yes, yes, yes. While we must honor our feelings we have to accept the role we play in our own suffering as well. Detaching from our suffering is essential to healing.

wow. the way I felt so seen reading this. I’ve been struggling with this exact feeling — regression and bitterness and anger. I curse myself so much with my words it’s become a habit and I’ve been completely out of whack because of it. thank you for sharing this. I always felt like I had to be so perfect, so put together, so linear in my healing. when really, it’s all such a big freaking mess that I’m beginning to embrace. nothing is wrong with me, and I can heal from this. I appreciate your vulnerability in this space 🩷

“Nothing is wrong with me” — yes! That’s something I’ve had to learn to embrace as well. Being “healed” isn’t a destination, “healing” is a continual process and we’re only human
