Beautiful Argentina 🌞 Trauma bonding is a spiritual act 🙏 It can either be healthy or unhealthy. These bonds are built through shared trauma experiences, whether through story sharing of the trauma or through shared experiences. The effects of unhealthy trauma bonding often result in anxiety, fear of being unheard or the constant need for validation. 💫 . . However, the benefits of healthy trauma bonding, offer a safe place to heal and naturally receive validation. In this episode, I share what I've learned from a lifetime of unhealthy trauma bonding and how I'm creating a spiritual practice of maintaining a sacred circle around my trauma. 💫 . .

A phenomenon I only became aware of (thank you therapy) within the last few years. Trauma bonding is not only a coping mechanism, but something that, over time, can develop into a habit. One trauma bond, after another and another. 😔 . . Healing from this pattern begins with recognition. Acknowledgment of how it has served your survival and equally granting it permission to rest. To let go. And to move on. ✨ . . Trauma bonding has marked much of my adult life - it was what I needed at those times- but there comes a time when you decide you are ready for different kinds of bonds. Ones built on health rather than survival. Built on shared independence rather than co-dependence. On building rather than destroying. On peace rather than chaos. 🙏 . . When I decided I was done with trauma bonds, it felt like a death. But with every death, comes new life. A new, glorious, peaceful life ❤ . . . . . #podcasts #blogger #writer #spiritualjourney #spirituality #youareenough #authentic #lovewell #loveyourself #misfitsunite #girlmom #lovewell #loveyourself #divinelove #survivor #abusesurvivor #lovewins #beyou #progressivechristianity #lgbtsupporter #lgbtchristian #wilderness #emotionalintelligence #healthyboundaries #traumarecovery #traumahealing #spiritualawakening #exevangelical This.

One is the definition of holy - the meaning of sacred - the relevance of Sabbath. . . For years, my body, mind and soul were not viewed as holy. My children's were not viewed as sacred. Our voices were not heard and our tears were not valued. We were taught that our sacredness rested in the hands of others.... Other's opinions, other's control, other's anger. 💔 . . But.....Remember the Sabbath... ✨ . . Today, we are in a new chapter. A new season. A new light. We are learning the meaning of what it is to view our bodies as holy. To view our home as sacred. To embrace the beauty of still, quiet peace (and equally rooms of giggles and laughter). . . We are leaning into a new kind of Sabbath. One that doesn't include rushing out the door, but rather staying inside. Embracing togetherness. And accepting the gift of rest. Rest from the doing, the going, the running, the impressing, the working- just resting in knowing we are loved, we are whole, we are seen and we are known. We are valued as we are. . . Remember the Sabbath friends, and keep it holy 🙏 . . . .
