AWARNESS → ACCEPTANCE → RE-ASSOCIATION
This formula has pulled my through the darkest of times, and allowed me to break free from past trauma that pinned me down. I hope that it can do the same for you to…
Awareness: Identify key traumas that you need to work through
Relationships
Family issues
Harsh failures
etc. (go as deep as you can)
At this point you have already taken positive steps towards working through the trauma that you store
Acceptance: Understand why this took place and the role that you or other people have to play
What would you have done anything differently? Our body holds trauma to protect us from repeating the same harm: Understanding what you would have done differently, or will do differently, is a huge step towards letting go.
Is there a logical explanation for why a person acted a certain way? Their own trauma, for example. Can you forgive them for this, understanding the reasoning behind their actions/words?
Explore trains of thought that arrive.
It is likely that you associate a specific person, location, behaviour, or part of your body with your traumas. Which leads to step 3:
Re-association: Immerse yourself in where this association lies, and create new and better associations
For example: Go back to that city, and re-lay old memories with new and better ones
For example: Start a new relationship with your learnings, relaying the turf of past toxicity with new healthy love
