Healing Childhood Trauma - Honoring Every Part of the Healing Journey

I recently asked my YouTube community to describe their healing journey in one word and what came back reminded me just how layered and nuanced the work of healing truly is.

We often expect… hope that healing should look linear, like we’re always supposed to be “better” than we were last week. But that’s not real life. That’s not real healing. The truth is, where you are today might not reflect where you were yesterday, and that’s okay. It’s not a step backward, it’s all part of your journey.

In this video, I talk about:

• Why healing is full of emotional shifts and how that’s normal

• How recognizing uncomfortable emotions is a sign of growth, not failure

• The way daily life and external stressors can impact how you feel

• How judgment-free self-reflection helps you move forward

• The importance of meeting yourself with honesty and compassion

Take a breath, check in with yourself, and if you feel called, share your one word in the comments. I’d love to hear it.
