Since the traumatic experiences of childhood have been integrated, my life has changed greatly. I used to feel unworthy and was in a cycle of trying to fix my character flaws. I avoided any vulnerability. Being vulnerable involved feeling things like guilt and shame. Not fun.
Now, I feel as if my future landscape has bare spots that are left by the sludge of a lifetime of trauma. But those bare spots are not going to stay that way. I can imprint wonderful images on them.
Challenges are understood to be of the human experience. I don’t have to dread them. I am only responsible for being present and trying my best. I can have happiness in my life now.
