There is nothing inside us that we "need" to hide from, deny, or disown.

There is plenty inside us that we'll struggle to manage without support, tools, & experience-- but that's not the same thing.

If what you have the bandwidth for today is reading one paragraph, journaling a few sentences, or whispering the most basic prayer-- then that's what you do today. Do what you can w/ the bandwidth you have.

Communicate & affirm to your nervous system that no step is "too small."

You have worth even on days you feel worthless. You've been conditioned to feel like garbage about yourself, but that has zero to do w/ your actual value. Remember. Remember.

We can't trust what we've been conditioned to believe, especially about ourselves, by bullies & abusers.

Build a version of yourself that the younger version of you would have turned to for help.

A mistake some survivors in recovery make is trying to build a version of themselves that rejects & abandons who they once were-- but sustainable recovery is never built on self-rejection.

Survivors often grow up believing the way to get ourselves to take action is through pressure or shame, because that's what was done to us-- but in recovery we realize "beat the sh*t out of yourself, just because" isn't a sustainable or successful life strategy.

Who knew?

Chronic pain can truly shred a sufferer's sense of personal identity & authenticity. It's hard to remember who you are, what you're all about, what you want, & what you need, when you're forced to devote massive bandwidth to coping w/ pain.

And that's not your fault.
