Treat yourself with some grace, trauma rewires the brain. After all we’re products of our environments and experiences. Being tortured for years I was no longer interested in the things I love, not as productive, and only able to handle a fraction of my usual activities. Sometimes I’d get upset with my new behavior, now I’m proud for having accomplished anything, pushing myself as best I could under the circumstances. Especially having a fried nervous system that prevented sleep, now I need more to heal and that’s okay. Sleep is a gift. Acknowledge your trauma and act accordingly. Via: Furthur_Coaching
