After a trauma (house fire) we saw a therapist. Honestly, I thought he wasn’t that great, but *Just the Act of Seeing Someone Makes It Real*. Yes, PTSD is a Thing. Yes, it Did Happen. Yes, it Mattered. Yes, I’m beating it into the ground.

Ritual is also important. It can be a Fire Ceremony, cleansing through water, a poem. Make your own Releasing the Past ritual.

By my bed I have several religious and spiritual texts when my mind “goes there”. If I wake up ~ At two AM I go back to sleep. Three AM, I read. Four AM I just get up already.

P.S. We are all growing and evolving. If you wait until you’ve reached your potential you will be single forever! It’s OK to start dating.
