Pleased to meet you, self

Trauma, especially developmental, robs a person of a sense of self, a well-defined image and feel of who they are. Survival mechanisms become so habituated and ingrained, they form a counterfeit identity where authenticity, needs, desires, opinions, limits and boundaries take a back seat. If the ensuing discontent in adulthood renders life unbearable, it becomes a personal responsibility, perhaps incited by a divine spark, to peel the layers obscuring the core self, the essence of a person…The trek can be arduous, but the results are nothing short of astounding: a solid sense of self unleashes confidence, inner wisdom, intuition, creativity and joy.

Sense of self was foreign to me, I was oblivious to the concept…as my awareness developed, it rendered it abstract. I now KNOW who I am and that I am worthy of attention, of care, of love, of compassion, of forgiveness, of time, of space, of pleasure… My trauma healing journey taught me that in my humanness, I am equal to others. I also have needs and desires, thoughts and opinions, likes and dislikes, time and capacity…

I finally understood I cannot outsource my happiness.

I learned how to cultivate a relationship with myself and now honor it on a daily basis with small acts of self love.
