When I started my healing journey I was very discouraged that it was taking so long and I didn't feel like progress was being made. Many told me to be patient and that I was making progress, but I really didn't want to hear that. I wanted to know how to fix it NOW.
So for those beginning your healing journey listen to this advice and don't get frustrated that there is not magic pill, no magic therapy, and support. It takes time and a combination of all the above to move forward. There will be set backs. Healing doesn't occur on a straight line, it's more a wavy line with ups and downs, with both being important. Find support, educate yourself and get the help you need. That's the best advice I could give a person starting this healing journey. Stay strong.
