Freedom with a Capital F

‘Are you all right? Is there anything we can do for you?’ I’m at a big party in a crowded café. The husband of a dear friend had come up to me. Really worried. His wife had read him a FB post of mine while they were driving. It’s about trauma. And what healing from trauma looks like. I assure the kind man that I am fine and thank him for his concern. And for his openness in sharing it with me.
My friend’s husband was not the only one concerned. There were other caring messages from loving people in the replies below my post.
I get it. It is a raw story, just like the healing journey. It is not all roses and rainbows. It’s about finding the courage inside to really feel what I’m feeling. Including all the super uncomfortable feelings like shame, apathy, sadness.
