I'm really glad it could bring you even a little comfort. Be gentle with yourself...you’re doing your best in a hard season, and that counts for so much. Peace comes slowly, but it’s on its way to you. 💕

I was just reading this when i saw you commented on my note. But realized i’m not ready to read it completely at this moment🫠 -so i saved it to come back to it later, cause eveything you wrote is true 🫠

Totally get that. Some things need to be read when you're really ready to sit with them. I’m glad it resonated, even in passing and I’ll be here when you’re ready to come back to it 🤍

I realized while reading this how much work I still have to do to accept my childhood trauma. It's hurt for so long and I want to let it go

i just started an internship for my MSW and i’m learning to accept that i don’t know everything right away and it will take mistakes and struggle sessions to learn how to be the best therapist i can be. i loved reading this, really reminded me of how i can use this skill more in my life!!
