Healing doesn’t mean becoming a new version of you. Healing is rediscovering who you were, before your nervous system told you who to be. Like Russian Dolls, it’s cracking open and shedding each layer of armor you had to wear to survive the trauma. The people pleasing part of you, the anxious part of you the angry part of you, the isolating part of you, the numb part of you. It’s holding compassionate space and understanding for each of these versions, while also reminding yourself that you’ve never been lost – just protected away.
