Continuing my journey post on healing, I've embraced several additional steps to overcome the lingering effects of trauma and keep moving towards a more fulfilling life.
- Creating My Safe Space: I've dedicated time and effort to creating a safe physical and emotional space where I feel secure and at ease. This could mean arranging my living environment in a way that feels comforting, surrounding myself with supportive people, or even just carving out moments of solitude when I need them most.
- Exploring Healing Modalities That Resonate: I've taken the time to explore different healing modalities and therapies, seeking out those that truly resonate with me. Whether it's through traditional talk therapy, somatic experiencing, art therapy, or mindfulness practices, I've found empowerment in discovering what works best for my unique journey.
- Honoring My Progress: Instead of focusing solely on how far I have to go, I make a conscious effort to acknowledge and celebrate how far I've come. Recognizing my progress, no matter how small, helps me stay motivated and reinforces my belief in my ability to heal and grow.
- Nurturing Self-Compassion: I've learned to be gentle and compassionate with myself, especially on difficult days. Rather than criticizing myself for setbacks or moments of vulnerability, I practice self-compassion, offering myself the same kindness and understanding I would extend to a loved one in need.
- Connecting with Supportive Communities: I've sought out communities and support networks where I feel understood and accepted. Whether it's through online forums, support groups, or close friendships, having a supportive community to lean on during tough times has been incredibly comforting and empowering.
- Finding Joy in Everyday Moments: I've made a conscious effort to find joy and beauty in the simple moments of life, even amidst the challenges of healing. Whether it's enjoying a warm cup of tea, taking a walk in nature, or indulging in a creative hobby, finding moments of joy has been essential for my overall well-being.
- Practicing Mindfulness and Gratitude: I've incorporated mindfulness practices and gratitude exercises into my daily routine, helping me stay grounded and appreciative of the present moment. Cultivating mindfulness allows me to observe my thoughts and emotions without judgment while practicing gratitude helps me cultivate a sense of abundance and positivity in my life.
- Setting Boundaries and Prioritizing Self-Care: I've learned to prioritize my own needs and well-being by setting healthy boundaries and practicing self-care. This means saying no to things that drain my energy, prioritizing activities that nourish my soul, and taking time for rest and rejuvenation when needed.
By embracing these personalized steps, I continue to navigate my healing journey with resilience, self-compassion, and a deep sense of hope for the future. Each step forward is a testament to my strength and courage, and I'm proud of the progress I've made along the way.

7 个月Excellent article, Nisha. If I may ask, what category of trauma do we accumulate as we navigate this maze called Life ? I know personally that I've kept quite a few demons inside me and have it well hidden in the recesses of my mind/brain, and I've observed that my body suffers because of it. I know, perhaps intuitively, that I have to dredge up these traumatic events and face them head on, before contemplating the steps you've gracefully outlined in the article. I believe Trauma recovery can only occur once a person confronts the trauma and accepts it, no matter how painful or hurtful. Is this the only way ? I would be both interested and grateful in equal measure if you be kind enough to share a general but personal, experience or culmination of experiences in approaching trauma combined with the steps above. Blessings.
