Grief is mourning loss. Loss of a loved one, a community, one’s health, role, or even hopes and plans. The stages of grief are fluid, without a fixed time for movement through. Other losses or stress may affect the progression as well.

We now have evidence through brain scans that trauma changes the brain’s physical structure.

Trauma changed the way in which we see ourselves, the world, + our experiences. It changes the way we relate to others. It impacts how we trust. It alters our ability to connect.

Life can become a daily battle. A very real hyper vigilant state where we are fighting off the next threat. When we are not safe, the mind responds by running worse case scenarios + fear based ego stories.

All the mind does is seek to survive.

For me, trauma manifested as severe dissociation. I have no memories of childhood. I barely have any memories of my 30s.

Our healing involves facing what’s happened, grieving what we lost, + honoring the inner child within each of us. Trauma is not who we are, it’s an event experienced. And we can unlearn the ways in which we coped while forgiving ourselves for the fact that we had to.

I’ve been practicing mind-body modalities for a few years now (breathwork, meditation, + yoga) while also practicing journaling + new emotional states of existing to re-wire new pathways of the brain. The ego resistance (all the stories still go on within my mind) + I am slowly releasing them as reality.

I’m also learning self care, my own limits with myself, boundaries, + acceptance of multiple realities.

If you’re experiencing this, know you’re normal. This is a way of coping. A way of responding to what you were modeled.

AND know, you have the ability to commit to unlearning the past + creating your future self
