The Unraveling

It was scary. It was confusing. It was beautiful. It was ugly. It was messy. It was necessary.

At the beginning, I felt like a time bomb. Explosive emotionally. Angry. Fearful. Guilty. Confused. Hurt. And I was completely unprepared to handle what was happening to me.

I needed to change and man did I need help. (I wasn’t good at needing help, so this wasn’t easy)

Nudged by a dear friend, I made therapy my first step. I needed to find some peace.

For me this meant, committing to healing, to letting go, to opening up, to taking off the armor that had been protecting me my whole life.

I’m here, because I healed. Healing made Peace possible. I’d describe the way it feels as free, and open and light inside with a quiet mind. (This is a MIRACLE!)

To get there, I learned to slow down, to understand how I was feeling, and to hear my own voice. (the way I talked to myself…we all do it!) This gave me the chance to see signs, to recognize triggers, to identify emotions, and to change the way that I was thinking.

I read books, I listened, I spent a lot of time alone, I walked, and I used affirmations. All of this done with intention. I’m still working at it, but most of the time now, Peace is the norm for me.

I’m thankful for the loving support of my dearest friends, for my kids who helped along the way, and for the healing. It’s opened up a whole new world to me.
