Happy Monday. This week, we are still pressing into how we overcome, specifically as it relates to life after trauma. Of focus for this week... our declarations. We are changing our language and through this change, we are breaking out of the prison that shame may have had us in.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not encouraging delusional thinking or diminishing the weight of what you experienced. I know and respect that..
Yes, the experiences were horrific.
*
Yes, the scars are real.
*
Yes, you are still triggered.
but also you are still alive and because you are, there are opportunities for more.
So as difficult as some days will get, after you lean into your pain and have a good cry (or scream), I want you to get up, wash your face and speak to your self and your future.
say it with me:
🗣🗣
I'm alive and there's more. My future is bright. I live in joy!
*
I reject shame.
*
I will not allow shame to have a place in my life.
*
I am more than my experiences
*
Healing is a process and my journey is my own
Remember, the pain of now doesn't determine your future and you are more than even the sum of your experiences. #drgiasays #Jesusplustherapy #hope #renounceshame #joy #growth #overcomingtrauma #cbt #affirmations
