How self-compassion can help us heal past trauma
Healing from trauma with self-compassion is a journey, not a race. When we start opening our hearts to ourselves, old pain can arise—what we call backdraft. This isn’t a sign that you’re doing it wrong; it’s a sign that healing is happening.
The key? Finding ways to practice self-compassion that feel safe. That could mean placing a gentle hand on your heart, petting an animal, or simply sipping tea with the intention of soothing yourself. What matters most is that you recognize your worthiness of care and kindness.
Go at your own pace. You deserve to feel safe. You deserve your own love.
