#mindful healing and trauma recovery

Reminder that caregivers of children are, by definition, supposed to provide shelter, food, and clothing. They did not do you a huge favor by providing this. It was the bare minimum of the job description that they voluntarily signed up for. You are not indebted to your caregivers for giving you the very basics.

Bring Hope To Others.

You Might Be The Only Light They Receive.

[drachenengel]

And this took work.

[angelpink610]

Shadow Work is NOT meant to be easy or comforting;

Guess it’s about time that we talk about this!

This is a reminder to myself and to anyone that might need it—the ones who feel like it’s only bringing them down, that it’s making them feel miserable or bad. Let’s clear up some things.

Feeling down in the moment is the best sign you can receive that IT IS WORKING! Shadow Work is the courage to look at the parts of yourself you despise the most, you fear the most, you are embarrassed of the most. It’s not simply acknowledging that bad things happened to you, it’s experiencing them all over again but now straightening up your back and looking right to its face.

I, myself, also am someone that's still learning about it and have been experiencing hard times throughout it. Sometimes I feel unmotivated and down, also lately I had noticed my sleep was a bit more inconsistent and I have big dark circles. Well, I know that saying this is probably going to scare some people even more away—and I understand the unsettling feelings! But the way that I see it, it’s like anything great in life: takes time, heavy work and some sacrifices.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sacrificing my entire life because of it. I workout every single day, keep my mind active, go to university, all normal. But some minor sacrifices are the price we pay for lifelong healing. My personal experience’s greatest example of sacrifice is how much emotional energy it actually takes from you. I swear on my word that sometimes when I look at the notebook I use as my Shadow Work journal, I instantly feel kind of “off vibes”, like the energy that it has is unsettling—but, here’s the thing: it is!

The energy that it requires to heal your deepest traumas, pains, griefs, obviously wouldn’t be super light and nice. Your words carry the pain you felt, some that you still feel, the heaviness of its result on your life (maybe years, decades of constant suffering, even); it’s pretty obvious that the notebook that carries them wasn’t gonna be all warm and fuzzy.

It’s not easy, guys. And I know that, at this point, you might’ve already realized that, but I want to remember us all of something: it’s in adversity that we are able to grow. You are capable of living through this healing process, you are capable of surviving the dark before the light, you are capable of facing your monsters and returning with their heads on a stick. But you HAVE TO BELIEVE IT.

Live through the suffering stage of the process like the champion you already know you are. Don’t give up when you suddenly burst into tears during a meditation session where you talked to your younger self. Persist when you have to stop and take deep breaths at every few sentences you write when you are journaling about a traumatic event because it feels like it’s too much. Hold onto it tighter when you live all over again the worst thing that’s ever happened to you.

One last time: I’m not saying it’s easy or simple (in reality, those may be some of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do through your entire life, perhaps). But I do mean it when I say you’ll understand why you had to go through all that once you reach the light on the other side, and your scars will be the forever reminder THAT YOU ARE A SURVIVOR.

The same way a lot of kids are not scared of/don’t see evil in certain horror imageries until they are told that it is scary and choose to follow that thought—we should learn from them as adults and finally understand: monsters are only monsters when we give them the power to haunt us.

The truth is though, often times, there are no lessons to be learned, no bright sides, no silver linings, no other ways to look at it.

Often times, things that have happened to you, just should never have.

I finished reading "Becoming Yourself: Overcoming Mind Control and Ritual Abuse" by Alison Miller, and it was filled with incredibly useful information for those who struggle with a dissociative identity disorder. It was also filled with descriptions of some of the most extreme and atrocious kinds of abuse, so to anyone wanting to read it, there's a trigger warning for cult abuse, rituals, childhood sexual abuse, satanic rituals, child trafficking, child murder, brainwashing, mind control, and every form of religion used against the mind of a child.

I was reading this book to figure out if I had gone thru any kind of abuse of the sort, and I didn't, one of my abusers was utilizing religion against me and had done enough of brainwashing to construct several brainwashed and controlled parts, who were still under the influence, but that was it. The book is extremely clear and it will not confuse you about what happened to you, it tells you the intention behind every type of abuse, and often, how to resolve the results. The books also notes that the word 'alter' is triggering to those who went thru ritual abuse and developed a dissociative identity disorder, for similarity with the word 'altar', which is used in rituals, so they prefer to use the terms 'insiders' and 'parts', which I found to enjoy as well.

One of the repeating points in the first half of the book was on insiders who pretend to be something else, for instance, insiders who pretend to be your abusers, pretend to be demons, pretend to be gods or powerful entities, who believe it's their job to hurt you, or to control you, who are made to bring out consequences if you attempt to act against your abusers. I had something like that in my head, but I had refused to believed it was an insider, because it looked just like a case of 'internalized abusive voice', and I had fought against it viciously and focused on shutting that voice down and keeping it scared, often via imagined torture if it was making me feel anxious. Reading about these other scary entities, who would, when asked, admit to just being an insider pretending, I became curious enough to engage with the abusive voice and ask it, 'are you just an alter pretending'? The voice laughed at me and admitted to being found out, and then promptly stopped pretending and showed themselves as a child part. It took me several weeks to admit to myself that this was real, because it was mortifying. I had fallen for the trick, and even tortured a child part for doing their assigned job – this part now believed their only function was to be tortured. I feel responsible for that. But there was no way for me to know. Insiders are good at keeping up a pretense.

You can sometimes recognize that an entity in your head that is scaring you, claiming to be able to control you or triggering you on purpose, or pretending to be evil, demonic, terrifying, animalistic, powerful, magical, godly, is actually a child part, just because they often act the version of that thing that a child would believe is real. If your entity is often repeating the same lines, only knows 1 way of behaviour and has predictive responses, believes to be your abuser or something similar to it, doesn't follow any real-life logic and seems to belong to another world that a child would think is accurate, then it's likely a child part, for some reason programmed or brainwashed to believe they're what they're pretending to be. I should note that when children think of these scary entities, they're often very creative, and put their whole heart in it, so it's going to be an entity that is engaging, feels powerful, doesn't back down easily. Parts who pretend to be evil or demonic will sometimes cling to what they think they are very dearly and will not allow themselves to think of themselves as humans or children, this is for their own emotional protection. All they had in their childhood was being tough. They cannot let that go.

Another incredibly useful information I got from the book was on how to process trauma if you are a multiple. I had never seen instructions on how to do this before, and I'm going to share them in another post that should be posted right after this one, and I'll put a link to it here.

🌙💔 The Bittersweet Symphony of Healing 💔🌙

By: Fiona @retrosexualrage

🌾🦋💀🌷🌘🌷💀🦋🌾 In the depths of my shattered soul, I embarked on a journey of healing, a path wrought with darkness and light, pain and liberation. Today, I share with you the raw essence of my experience, for it is through embracing the depths of our pain that true healing begins. 💫🖤💀 In the haunting echoes of my childhood trauma and neglect, I discovered the resilience buried within my fragile heart. Each step forward was accompanied by the weight of my past, each revelation an agonizing reminder of the wounds I carried. But I refused to let the darkness consume me; instead, I chose to confront it head-on. 💔💪💀 The road to healing is not for the faint of heart. It is a labyrinth of emotions, where I found myself drowning in the depths of despair, suffocating under the weight of my own fears. Yet, even in the midst of my darkest moments, a flicker of 🌷hope🌷 illuminated my path, reminding me that I was not alone. 🌑✨🦋 I allowed myself to unravel, to feel the pain that had long been suppressed. With each tear shed, I released fragments of my 🩶broken past🖤 allowing space for new 🩷beginnings. It was through embracing my vulnerabilities that I discovered the true strength that lay within me. 💧💖🍉 Healing is not linear; it is a dance of light and shadow, a delicate balance between anguish and growth. It is in acknowledging the dark corners of my soul that I found the courage to heal. Through the labyrinth of my pain, I uncovered the resilience that had been forged through adversity. 🌗🦋 As I share my story, I do not seek sympathy but understanding. Together, let us break the silence surrounding abuse, for in our voices lies the power to ignite change. Let us build a community of support, where survivors can find solace and hope, knowing they are not alone. 💕🌈 And so, dear friends, I stand here, a testament to the indomitable spirit within us all. Though my journey has been marked by shadows, I refuse to let them define me. I embrace the scars as reminders of my strength and resilience. I am a survivor, and with every step forward, I am reclaiming my power. 🌟🌻 May my journey inspire you to embrace your own healing, to confront the darkness within and emerge stronger than before. Remember, dear ones, there is beauty in the brokenness, and hope in the most desolate of places. Embrace the bittersweet symphony of healing, for it leads us to a future bright with possibility. 🌙✨💖

🌙💔 Let us find solace in the shadows and strength in our healing. Together, we rise. 💔🌙

When we hear the word mistake, it’s often tied to feelings of doing something wrong or making a bad choice. But a mistake isn’t inherently good or bad—it’s simply a choice that didn’t lead to the desired outcome. Choices, by their nature, are neutral. They are part of the learning process, helping us understand what works, what doesn’t, and what aligns with us.

Learning happens through experience—whether it’s our own or what we observe in others. The process itself isn’t good or bad; it’s simply how we grow. Removing the word mistake from our vocabulary can help release the judgment we place on ourselves and the decisions we make.

When we let go of the need to label choices as mistakes, we free ourselves from the pressure to be perfect. This shift allows for grace, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of the lessons in our experiences. By releasing judgment, we open the door to healing and growth.

A choice isn’t a mistake; it’s an opportunity to grow. Each decision, whether it turns out as planned or not, moves us forward and adds to our understanding. This is the heart of the learning process and the path to self-discovery.
