I see you and am glad you forged your own path. I too have grown tired of healing, of carrying that backpack. Something that has helped me is to shift my perspective - rather than think of it as healing, I view myself more on a journey towards growth. Sometimes the simple change feels much less heavy.

So much of this yes. I am trying to write about my family trauma in a fictionalized way in my first novella-and it’s almost too much. I feel different and broken in ways that most people are not. And yes, the healing fatigue. Therapy sessions, psychiatrists. Hypnotherapy worked really well. Thank you for speaking the survivor’s language. I needed that today. Subscribed.
