trauma avoidance

Hey ,

Imagine you’re carrying a cardboard box everywhere you go.

No biggie, right?

But now...imagine me putting in a small pebble.

Still not a problem, barely noticeable…right?

Now…picture me adding a 20-pound rock.

Starting to feel it now?

You get a little stronger, sure…But it still gets heavier.

After a year...a few more rocks pile in. Maybe your back starts to hurt, so you stay home at night.

After 2 years...your box is so heavy you drag it everywhere, telling everyone how heavy it is.

After 3 years...you’re crushed under the weight, completely paralyzed.

This is what happens when we go through trauma…and DON’T process it.

If you don't consciously deal with the pain from your past, it WILL pile up. There’s no doubt in that.

I went through this process myself. I let my pain pile up, thinking if I ignored it, everything would get better on its own...at least that’s what I hoped.

In reality, I was just too SCARED to face my trauma...I couldn't even think about it without breaking down. My rocks were several big traumatic experiences, and longer-term traumas.

What about you?

What “rocks” are you holding?

They don't have to paralyze you anymore.

Have you ever felt like you’re just one step away from breaking down?

Do you find yourself staying busy just to avoid your emotions?

I did.

But here’s the truth…

AVOIDING your trauma only makes the box HEAVIER.

You HAVE to look at the dark side in order to solve it…

SO many people are terrified of the dark…or they think that if they just pile on positivity the negativity will just go away…sorry, but it doesn’t.

This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pour as much positive into your life (you should)…

I’m just saying that you ALSO need to face the darkness.

You need BOTH.

Imagine finally letting go of all the trauma you’re carrying around...how much lighter would you feel?

How much more could you enjoy life, your family, your dreams?

It takes time, pain, sweat, and tears…but it SO worth it.

What’s stopping you?

Most struggle with self-doubt, shame, and a deeply ingrained belief that they are damaged beyond repair.

These limiting beliefs keep you stuck…

And cause you to AVOID facing the darkness…which leads to even more despair and isolation.

You deserve a life of peace, happiness, and fulfillment.

You deserve to be the best version of yourself for your family, for your dreams, and for your future.

It’s time to let go of the rocks.

It’s time to release the weight you’ve been carrying around for so long.

Will you?
