It took me almost 30 years to liberate myself from childhood and adult trauma. It wasn’t until a little voice inside me asked, “How much longer do you want to hang on to these feelings?” that I began to see the need for change. At some point in my life, I realized that holding onto these memories, emotions, and feelings was my way of hiding my true self from others. However, it became apparent that this burden was causing physical damage to my body, and that’s not how I wanted to live. Forgiving myself and those who hurt me was just the beginning. Finding new friends who are supportive and have gone through similar experiences has been incredibly healing. These friendships bind us together, allowing us to encourage and support one another during difficult times. Thank you, Alex.

I love how you’re threading all of these through the hero’s journey. It’s an ambitious and fantastic project. The narrative / personal approach helps these core concepts stick. Well done!

Hi Jeremy, thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging message! Writing this process out has been incredibly cathartic and transformational for me. It’s been a journey of finding my voice, seeing what resonates, and bringing new ideas and stories to the forefront. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the hero’s journey thread throughout the posts!
