Six months.....181 days....4344 hours....Hope my Math is correct, but this post isn't about my math skills.
Authentically and holistically learning how to self heal means someone does a lot of shadow work. Peel back layer by layer......painful layer after layer. What often isn't discussed about shadow work is the new growth that comes after peeling off layers.
Have you ever picked at your skin after a sun burn? How at first it may sting, but you nurture it, and you're able to successfully peel back a layer without pain. That's the best visual I can give.
Rx pills are so easily accessible, seen as acceptable, and a quick fix. For the most part, they can be easily managed. Once your body has endured so much pain, the amount of Rx pills for a quick fix just ends up being edged closer to the max. Rx given to manage stress levels & the effects stress has on one's body: migraines, acute pain, can't sleep, nausea.......etc.
We live in a society where stress is so easily swept under the rug. Take this pill. Drink your water. Eat properly. Exercise. Get enough sleep......and so on. Even trying to manage all of these areas, I crashed & crashed hard. Burn out. Compassion Fatigue & PTSD. My Mind. My Body. My Spirit. Finally shut me down. I'm damn sure they got together and thought we need to shut this bitch down for awhile.
My Mind gave me signs: migraines, anxious thoughts. My Body gave me signs: back injuries, jaw injuries, concussions. My Spirit gave me signs: inability to sleep. We often ignore these signs, shrugging them off, thinking it will get better.
I can't really describe the feeling when all 3 decide to shut you down. Best visual is my brain split, and I've been healing to let my brain come back together. It's like each part of the brain: mind, body, spirit left and went on time out. :-)
When you start to reclaim your wholeness & who you are, there are many dark shadows one has to face. To move from victim mode to survivor mode. To speak authentically and become vulnerable.
