Sometimes our trauma gets channeled into drive, perfectionism, overwork. Some people numb their pain with substances. I numbed mine with productivity when the company I'd spent a decade pouring my soul into shut down. My work had been my entire identity. And without it, I didn't know who I was anymore. Here's how I found my way back to myself. First, I slowed down and I just let myself feel. For most of my life, I disconnected from my emotions to survive. Research shows most of us do this. We avoid painful emotions through working, drinking, social media, and other endless distractions. But when we suppress our emotions, they don't go away. They actually resurface more intensely, often as anxiety, depression, or burnout. So, I let myself feel it all. Second, I learned to let go of outcomes. I realized I'd become so attached to an outcome that I pushed past all my limits. And when the company failed, it shattered my sense of self. I now know I'm not defined by my external successes or failures. It's who I am on the inside that truly matters. And lastly, I learned self-compassion. I now know resilience isn't about toughness. It's about tenderness. It's about treating ourselves with compassion and knowing deep in our bones that we are enough just as we are beyond our achievements or even our purpose. I once thought healing meant fixing myself. Now I know it means loving myself. And this is so important because the relationship we have with ourselves shapes every other relationship in our lives both personally and professionally.
