Healing from narcissistic abuse.

Healing means making room for everything that is.

Everything.

All that I think of as shameful or ugly.

All that society labels as dysfunctional or bad.

Everything.

Healing means making room for everything,

Including those moments of joy,

Of shifting and changing,

Those new patterns evolving and deep relief felt.

Everything.

There is a movement of coming together and of falling apart.

And when we fully explore and accept these movements,

Healing happens within us.

Everything finds its place.

Though life's journey will always remain messy and complex,

And that is okay.
