The holidays can be a set-up for trauma, and flashbacks to past trauma. We are encouraged to focus on consumerism, and the build-up to these "special" days heightens all of the tensions that are familiar to us. In this time of stress, joy and, at times, pain, take time to focus on yourself. This is advice to me as well as any reading this. Self-care, which includes asking others to help when needed, helps to heal trauma when you can give it to yourself with an open, loving heart.
Working toward loving yourself with an open heart is part of what this blog is all about. Providing tools for the journey to self love. Until the next post, may you be happy, healthy and free from suffering. May peace surround you like a shield, allowing nothing to pierce it's protection.

Trauma is a familiar word, so much so that is has almost lost it's meaning. Pity, contempt, empathy, judgement; trauma can invoke the myriad responses of which humans are capable. It is also an intensely personal journey. Reintegrating, then, is a humble attempt to provide space for that journey - mine, yours, ours - from pain and suffering to peace and meaning. May we learn from and honor one another.
