Feeling unsafe to share the reality of our lives can bring us emotionally right back to having to keep our abusers' secrets in the past.
There's a huge differed between choosing to not describe what's going on w/ us, vs. believing we can't for fear of punishment or abandonment.

I promise, you do not need to claw back something you've lost in order to create a life worth living today.
Our lives are designed such that any attempts to reverse time will be distracting & destructive.
There may be things behind us that we miss-- but nothing we need.

No one wakes up in the morning & "decides" they're going to use their self-talk to sh*t on themselves all day. That pattern is an artifact of verbal & emotional abuse that has quietly become our internal baseline, our mental "background music." Start to notice it.

That fear that you "don't make sense" when you talk isn't about whether you actually make sense or not-- it's usually about having been made to feel in the past like what you had to say wasn't important or intelligent.
The reality is, you are articulate & expressive. Remember.

Fo most of us, our emotional & behavioral "autopilot" was programmed by events & people uninterested in us feeling or functioning well-- they mostly wanted to control us.
Realistic recovery asks us to go off autopilot whenever we can-- to scratch our old record, again & again.

Who you are is not reducible to a diagnosis or anything that has happened to you in the past. YOU define you w/ your consistent choices now.
Your very next micro choice is WAY more important to who you really are than anything written in a medical chart or in your history.

All realistic trauma recovery is going to ask of us is we do our best w/ the energy, focus, & tools we have, today. That's it. You can't "fail" at it if you're doing your best today-- no matter what the voices of your bullies & abusers are saying in your head right now.

We don't "make peace" w/ our past in one dramatic moment or w/ one decision.
People telling us we "need" to "make peace" w/ our past have this fantasy it's that easy or straightforward-- but realistic recovery is an ongoing process of reconditioning & reprogramming ourselves.

Shout out to the "part" of you that's been overfunctioning for years because it truly believes everything will fall apart if it takes a day off.
Part of this whole "recovery" thing is making it realistically possible for it to not have to carry that load in that way anymore.

You can be married and still retain your birth surname.
If you already changed it, change it back so it matches your birth certificate.

Literally everyone struggles w/ shifting deeply conditioned patterns of thinking, feeling, believing, & behaving from the past. It's not "easy" for anyone. You're not "weak" or "failing" for doing it slow or piecemeal-- realistic, sustainable recovery is a b*tch.
