Healing Beyond Trauma

The image above speaks a deep truth. Many people are afraid to heal because their entire identity has been built around their trauma. Who are they without it? That unknown feels terrifying.

But this isn’t just about individuals, it’s about all of us; humanity as a whole has been carrying a trauma identity since the beginning of time. Wars, oppression, betrayal, slavery, exploitation, violence… generation after generation, the pain has been passed down until it became the very lens through which we see the world. We have become so accustomed to living inside the paradigm of trauma and victimhood that we can barely imagine what existence could look like outside of it.

I’ve met people who cling to their wounds, not because they want to, but because they don’t know who they would be without them. Their victim persona has become their anchor, even as it keeps them from moving forward. And yet, this is precisely the transformation humanity is going through right now. Everyone’s shadows are surfacing so that we can finally face them.

We were not born broken. We were born radiant, wonderful, beautiful, powerful and limitless, but indoctrination, fear, manipulation, and yes, real experiences of pain and loss, chipped away at that light until we forgot who we really are. We shrank under the weight of what happened to us, until trauma itself became our identity.

Now it is time to shed those layers. To stop letting the scars define us, to remember the essence of who we are; divine beings with infinite potential. Only then can we begin to create and experience the kind of world we are all secretly dreaming of.

Healing is not just personal, it is collective, and the moment we dare to imagine life beyond trauma, we open the door to a new world.

We are here to be the ones that break the chain.

Notes to Readers:

Yes, I’ve been traumatized by members of my own birth family, rejected, and so on. I survived. I’ve done the inner work, proved my resilience and survived.

In 2020, I had to decide on whether to remain in a friendship. I chose to leave since this individual couldn’t, wouldn’t release the trauma she allowed herself to completely identify with. No longer having the patience to listen to the constant whining and revisiting of the pain, I chose to leave. I learned it is impossible to convince someone to drop the pain if they truly believe they will lose themselves in the process. So, I was set up to be an anon before I fully realized how I was changing myself.

If you are insistent on clinging to the past, you never allow for growth. It’s like a horticulturist always trimming a tree and then complaining about it never growing… It’s remaining within a self-created prison, refusing to see the door open in front of you.

No one can take the first steps for you. It… determination, resolve, courage, willingness to take a risk, it all must emerge from within fired by the heart, by your connection to Source which you may not have yet acknowledged.

I learned it was useless to waste time trying to convince people to change. They had to do it themselves lest the effort be wasted; it would have been just another form of outside manipulation. Real change comes from self-realization, self-acceptance, and finally, having compassion, which enables you to see beyond the ego fear. It is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes patience. It takes self-love.

I left because I wanted to continue to grow, to expand in my understanding of the world. Long ago I determined I was a life-long learner. That mindset has taken me beyond the ability for others to successfully indoctrinate me. Instead of fighting, I step aside and move on. Self-determination has allowed me to survive within a society that hasn’t been a kind setting for an empath and highly sensitive individual. Still, I’m here… despite all of the attempts to sideline me from my chosen intuitive path.

How about you? Have you been able to step into the unknown beyond what is generally approved?

Life is an adventure. It is what you chose, what you choose everyday…

In Joy,
