​
As we heal, we learn to:
• Listen to ourselves and our truths
• Accept that we were always doing the best we could, at every moment
• Realize that it was not our fault if we had a painful or traumatic childhood
• Believe that there is nothing wrong with us—that every part of Our body, mind, and spirit are beautiful and miraculous.
• Accept that every feeling we have ever felt was normal.
• Empower ourselves by choosing positive thoughts and beliefs
• Share our true self with one or more people we trust deeply
• Mourn all our losses
• Feel all our feelings, learn from them, and let them go.
• Be patient and gentle with ourselves, as we would with a child we loved
• Realize that we are no longer alone in our pain, anger, and fear.
• Be grateful for everything we have and are.
• Feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually safe
• Accept that our life works better if we choose to believe in a god of our understanding
