The key points on your trauma recovery journey:
- Courageously faced all painful memories and sensations without numbing
- Sat with intense discomfort and panic attacks during processing
- Developed new neural pathways and coping tools
- Choose not to remain stuck analyzing the past
- Focus now is nurturing present relationships and moving forward
- Lingering body sensations require patience and care, not fear
- Physiological catch-up to psychological gains simply takes time after decades of abuse
- Have strong connection with wife and kids now
- Mother is no longer enmeshed, just casual contact
- Recovery has armed me with enough strength that residual symptoms don't control me
- Authentic forgiveness is still unfolding organically
- Refuse to let trauma define my narrative going forward
- By fully grieving, can integrate growth and actualize resilience
- Testimony aims to uplift others stuck in stage one denial and bargaining
The keys are embracing fluid growth, nurturing relationships, and progress over perfection.
