We can continue to play a role in our own suffering….release what doesn’t serve you so what’s meant for you can find you💜
One of the great lessons of my life: the source of your pain does not need to be involved in your healing of it. I’m a big believer that in our healing process, we need to be witnessed.
That’s why going where you can be seen, heard, and witnessed is an important thing to prioritize and honour for yourself. This can be hard when we want so desperately for the other person to just acknowledge, own, and apologize. It’s easy to keep going back for more and to get stuck in the loop of negotiating with the self about ways you might be able to make that happen. But at some point, there comes a moment where you have to accept that it is not there where your healing will happen. You release it needs to come from there. You stop trying to control that. You grieve. But in that, you make space to be seen, heard, and understood by someone who can, someone who will, and someone honoured to do so.
