In order to help you understand trauma healing, I’ll describe my experience.

First, I thought I had to follow some prescribed journaling method of shadow work. That was not productive for me as writing is not what I consider an enjoyable past-time.

Next, I found spiritual healers to guide me through past life healing sessions. I found those very helpful. Those sessions gave me an idea of what healing trauma felt like and how to do it.

Of course, I had more trauma than a couple of sessions would heal. I needed to do more work on my own. Because I had never prioritized myself, I struggled to find time to do that level of work for me and my spiritual self…until this past summer.

When I lost my nephew, I was devastated. The range of emotions I felt were completely overwhelming. Instead of facing them, I tucked them into a corner and ignored them as long as I could. I ignored them while I was helping the rest of my family through their grief. I ignored them until September.

I now refer to September as the month I walked through hell and survived. I was finally able to process my emotions and allow myself to feel the emotions. I really don’t believe I ever allowed myself to grieve before September. Every person I ever lost came back to me in my grieving process to allow me to feel their loss on a deep and painful level. I had to give myself permission to grieve. I had to tell myself my emotions were valid. For my entire life, I kept my emotions under control and closed off…well, the most deepest and painful ones. Until September, I never allowed myself to actually feel them.

Once I tapped into those emotions and accepted them as part of me, I felt more peace than I had ever experienced. In that same moment, I remembered I had been trying to access Spirit to heal my neck. I had bulging discs along my neck from my fall in April. Physical Therapy helped, but I was in so much pain. I used a healing phrase from one of my best spiritual friends (@katnboots138 on TikTok)…

“Spirit, if it’s in the highest good, please allow Kat to take my pain and mend my body.”

Immediately, I felt the energy moving through my body. It healed not only my neck but also my sinuses and my ears that were causing me issues. It felt like a vibrating massage inside my body that started at the top of head and moved all the down to my toes.

I still have more trauma to heal. The work will actually never be completed in this lifetime. Layer after layer will continue to reveal more and more that needs to be healed. However, I have my spirit team with me every step of the way. I connect with them to make sure my decisions are in my highest good.

As a final note, besides my spiritual team, I also have my spiritual community. The ones I’ve connected with on social media sites and have become more than friends with over this past year. I love this new found peace and the gifts I’ve found to help not only heal myself, but also help heal the world around me.
