BREAKTHROUGH & BREAKDOWN: 40 - 49
· Breaking down is often the breakthrough but it is difficult.
· Collapse of survival & manager parts; total ANS burnout
· Dark night of the soul
· Rebirth – a process of release, resolution, reclamation, & reimagining. It’s a return home to your native essence, gifts, calling, & energy. From there you can reimagine a different way forward. But first It’s a cleaning up of the internal & external world & it impacts every aspect of your life
I am not alone.
Adults who have higher ACE scores, experienced abuse and/or neglect, & weren’t supported “enough” to meet their developmental needs start their adult life overburdened & underdeveloped. They are set up to make life & relationship decisions that further set them back. They cope as best as possible until they arrive at a place where they can no longer continue with what has worked for them before.
You are not alone. The path of healing & recovery is available to you. You have what you need to heal; you just may need some bridging & support along the way.
Beginning again, connecting inside, & using IFS as a starting point helps CPTSD survivors begin to turn chaos into calm, fear into clarity & confidence, & disconnection & separation into connection.
Recovery & healing is possible. A pathway of unburdening, integrating, & embodying exists.
I invite you to reach out to reset.
