I am grateful for the triggers that have come up for me recently. They stirred very strong emotions and fearful thoughts, but I was able to pair the experience with all of the knowledge and emotional growth I've gained. I have been able to find new perspective on a number of things that contributed to my mental breakdown. I still have a lot of work to do as integration can take time, but I am grateful I was able to put into practice the straregies I created for myself without running from my past.
