“Healing does not necessarily mean that we will reach a place where trauma no longer has any affect on our lives. We cannot change the past. We cannot un-experience what we have already experienced. We are not cars. We can't replace broken parts. However, if we do the inner work required to travel to the heart of our wounds, then we can reduce the impact of earlier trauma to create more fulfilling, authentic and meaningful lives.” -Michael Stone | photo: @mollyboha #trauma #resilience #healingisapractice #nonlinearhealing #woundtending #transformingtrauma

“i don’t believe healing has an end point. i don’t believe that if i just do enough things that i can clear my entire body of traumatic residue. i don’t even think i want that because what lives in me as a result of the trauma i have experienced also blooms with brilliance, wisdom, resolve and determination in a very alive way. it’s where all i create and offer originates. i don’t believe people have to have reached some peak healing place to be well. i believe there is wisdom in the wounds and sometimes we don’t need to rush each other out of them...i’m not trying to reach some high-vibe-all-the-time-abundance-abundance-abundance-no-trauma-depression-anxiety-here place. i’m trying to find a real place. a true place. i’m trying to remember that the dark is just as bright as the light.” -Jennifer Patterson / @corpusritual | photo: @mollyboha #nonlinearhealing #survivor #trauma #darknessandlight #woundsbloom #woundtending #sexualviolence #embodiedjustice
