Heal Trauma by Using These 4 Methods
For years I held on to my trauma.
The result? My life was filled with toxicity. Toxic friends. A toxic job. And worst of all, the toxic thoughts I let run in my head rampant. Life was one brick wall. I was going nowhere fast.
Until I started to let go.
Method #1. Forgive and move on
“To err is human, to forgive, divine.”
― Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism
Some say that forgiveness is near impossible for them.
But in reality, it’s because they’re addicted to their pain. Letting go and forgiving means that they would have to think and Be different. And that’s uncomfortable for the ego. The ego loves to stay safe.
Forgiveness means ripping off the scab and letting true healing take place.
This is quite uncomfortable. You’re made to face yourself. And from experience, it isn’t pretty. But on the other side of that discomfort is freedom. Forgiveness allows you to live a life of more freedom. Love can enter which creates peace.
Take forgiveness one step at a time.
Eventually, it’ll get easier to forgive — practice is just needed.
