Relational trauma is healed in relationships

Something I’ve realized on my journey is that we can do a lot healing on our own, but when it comes to relationship stuff, there is only so much we can do on our own.

The real work is stepping back into where it started: relationships.

Through active listening, curiosity, and empathy, we are able to rewrite old patterns together.

Find the people who help you feel safe and supported again — without them, it’s easy to shut down and call it self-protection.

Set boundaries with those who can’t meet you there yet. If they’re still not friends with their own pain, they won’t know how to be friendly with yours either.

Finding your people takes trial and error. Keep going!
