Hey Kori Anders (awesome name btw!),

That's a really good question. You know, I think it's really about gauging what's comfortable for you. I like what InnocentJoy says about doing things in small steps. Looking back on how it's been for me, I think things sort of came to me in digestible steps.

That said, it will be uncomfortable addressing trauma. Hmm. Just a brief thing I want to share. Hope you don't mind Something very specific comes to mind for me. I firmly believe that emotional (and physical) trauma gets stored in the body's muscle memory. The first time in my life that I had gotten myself in a relaxed, meditative state, I learned that my body and mind could actually be calm. Once I got a taste of that, I knew I needed to start working on releasing trauma by addressing it.

All that said, that's only one way of approaching. There are so many ways to approach the same issue, I firmly believe. So yeah, I think if you start by just remembering that anytime you begin to address your trauma, and you begin to feel a bit too uncomfortable moving forward, you can always stop. You are never stuck.

I hope this helps. I'm glad you posted about this.
