The goal is not to become so perfectly regulated, boundaried, self-aware, and discerning that we never get hurt, confused, activated, or knocked off center again. The goal of healing is not permanent self-protection.
It sounds backwards, but…the goal of healing is actually to have enough capacity to be able to be hurt, confused, activated, out of balance, unprotected, and— still be okay.
Healing changes you. Learning to meet life differently is part of the journey. The wisdom arises from the experience of seeing, meeting, addressing, repositioning and reframing your reaction to uncomfortable events and circumstances, and choosing to respond in another way.
Growth means you’re consciously deconstructing past habits, breaking cycles, entraining your brain, creating new neural pathway responses and shifting into new behavior. 🤸🏽 Good times.
