My Healing Journey
Before using this method, when triggered I could spend a full day in extreme anxiety and countless nights anxiously ruminating.
The anxious overthinking days used to be very intense. The nights were less intense but a lot more frequent and caused a ripple affect because of poor sleep and irritability.
Now I am able to pretty much always get quality sleep and a lot of my triggers have been dissolved/healed meaning outbursts and anxious overthinking are less of an occurrence now. If it does happen then this is still my go to method.
When I discovered Expressive journaling I was amazed at how the words flowed out of me. Like they were there on the surface ready to come straight out. By writing whatever came to mind I was able to explore and express what I was feeling in great detail without blaming or shaming. It was good because I finally had a lot more understanding about myself and also more understanding about others. When coupled with a laying down guided meditation, lovely sensations happened.
Healing wounds and layers of childhood trauma have really returned me to my inner peace and helped me start living my best life.
