Healing is not linear

I'm writing my first book right now and the journey I am on with this is incredible. I am going deep into my childhood to try and understand the timelines of so many things that I can't really remember. I didn't initially think I would be including a lot of my story in this book but I'm realising how important it is to share as much as I can.As I've gone back through the memories that I have of my childhood, I've been realising how much is missing. I don't know timelines, I don't know ages and I really wanted to do some digging to see if I could join some of the dots for my book.So I started Googling the social worker I had as a child. I remembered her first name and where I was during that time, but that's about it. Sure enough, her name came up and the minute I saw her last name, so many emotions came flooding in.This social worker still works in the same place. I was able to contact her and leave a voicemail. It was incredible. Again, as I heard her voice on her voicemail more emotions came flooding in. I sobbed and sobbed after I left her a message.I didn't expect her to remember me. I didn't expect her to email me back, but she did. And again, a flood of emotions washed over me.So I wanted to share this with you today to let you know that healing is not linear. I have done years and years of work on myself and I have processed so much trauma. I have a wonderful life, a gorgeous family and everything I need. But it doesn't mean that my healing journey is over. The journey will never e over. There will always be things to work through, emotions to process and that is okay.Allow yourself to feel your feelings and know that you will work through them.Connect with Erika:Instagram: @thequeenofconfidenceFacebook: @TheconfidencequeenYouTube: The Queen Of ConfidenceLinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/erika-cramer-ab695571Sistahood Program: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/sistahood/Website: www.thequeenofconfidence.comWAYS TO WORK WITH ME:Join my online coaching program for women – the SistahoodLearn how to Conquer Social Media through my new Confidently Conquering Social Media Course
