when I’m in conversation with someone about trauma releasing I have a few key points that I like to share. One is trauma doesn’t always mean devastation. We all have our own definition for trauma. I like to remind people that stubbing your toe is trauma. Tissue swells and turns pink. Then for the next few hours or the next few days every time you take a step you feel pain. Every time you put on your socks and shoes you’re reminded about the pain. After a few hours of walking on painful, swollen tissue it becomes emotional. After a few days, it becomes mental. But in time the tissue does heal and the pain fades away, and you forget. Stubbed toes, not broken toes, are the types of traumas that are temporary, and the cumulative effect isn’t a life changing event. Our days and weeks are sprinkled with these quick cognitive ‘stubbed toes’. They don’t change us in the long run, but their affects temporarily reshape us. Stepping into Truth is a safe space to talk about our ’stubbed toes’ and get the support we need while we’re in the experience of it. It’s also a space for talking about our ‘broken toes’ too. Stepping into Truth is a space about more than just stubbed or broken toes, we’re going to get into all corners of a variety of things. I figured this is a good starting point for discussions. So, what currently has you 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘣𝘦𝘥?
