Being Whole: 21 Days to Overcoming Relational TraumaSample

PROCESS:

The process of change is complex and multifaceted. It can involve a wide range of factors, including personal motivation, environmental factors, social support, and emotional regulation. At its core, change involves a shift from one state or condition to another, and it typically requires a significant amount of effort, commitment, and perseverance. The process of change often begins with an awareness of a problem or an area in one's life that needs improvement. From there, individuals may engage in self-reflection, goal setting, and planning as they work towards making the necessary changes. Along the way, individuals may encounter obstacles, setbacks, and resistance from themselves or others, and it is important to remain flexible and adaptable in the face of these challenges.

Ultimately, the process of change requires a willingness to take risks, learn from mistakes, and continue moving forward even in the face of uncertainty. More than anything it will require letting go of the past. Letting go of the past can be a liberating and empowering process. It involves releasing emotional attachments to past experiences, mistakes, regrets, or traumas that may be holding one back. By letting go of the past, individuals free themselves from the burden of carrying unnecessary emotional baggage and open themselves up to new possibilities. It allows them to live in the present moment, make positive changes, and create a brighter future. Letting go of the past requires forgiveness, self-compassion, and a willingness to move forward without dwelling on what cannot be changed. It can lead to increased emotional well-being, improved mental health, and a greater sense of personal freedom and empowerment. Letting go is the process!
