Key Takeaways:  
Trauma & Disconnection – Trauma can bury itself deep within, causing behaviors and emotions that feel unexplainable until healing begins.

Healing Through Creativity – Art and writing can help process emotions that words alone cannot express.

The Role of Faith – Faith isn’t always constant; questioning is part of the journey, and even in our darkest moments, love and spiritual support are present.

Moments of Light – Healing often comes in small glimpses, and those moments of grace can guide us through the hardest times.

Getting Through the Darkness – When overwhelmed, focus on getting through just the next moment, then the next—until relief comes.

Embracing the Hero’s Journey – Reframing healing as a journey, rather than a destination, allows us to grow from our struggles instead of being defined by them.
