How do I heal myself from trauma, toxic thinking, anxiety, overthinking, codependency etc etc?

In life we all have challenges.  Many of us experience terrible pain that might almost overwhelm us. Yet somehow even when we don't understand how or even why, we can find a glimmer of hope.  We can go on. It is frightening to realize that we don't have all of the answers, sometimes even the next answer, in the process. 

Yet if we are willing to take a half step beyond our fears, a way forward can manifest itself.

I would never pretend to have all of the answers life has to offer. Yet I have endured great pain during my life journey.  I'm willing to share what has worked for me, how I have learned to embrace and transform my pain into peace. The way I describe is NOT easy. Yet it can be done. You can have the past or the future, but not both. All I offer is another way to see yourself, nothing more, nothing less.  Please join me to find the self you wish you could be but don't believe that you have the hope of becoming.  I will never say that I know how you feel or I understand.  Those statements are insulting from my perspective.  I will say that I can relate to your experience.  I want to help you heal.

Thanks for listening to me. I would like to help you find the peace for yourself. Scary is not impossible. Difficult is not impossible.  It's just around the bend, something that you can't see but is still there to experience.  Most people never take the necessary steps to get to your current level of readiness. They just settle for the mild river of misery that runs through their mind forever.  They never know rest or peace. Surely you want more than that. Surely you are willing to do the work in counseling to face the fear and move forward.  Healing from trauma is some of the hardest work I've ever done but also the most fulfilling. It's like opening up a wound that has festered for years. It hurts more in the beginning. Then, as you treat it with antibiotic salve, it begins to heal.
