Book - Craving: Why We Can't Seem to Get Enough

If you struggle with trauma, repression, or emotional numbness, I also highly recommend Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine. It explains it all in a way that just clicks. Healing isn’t about fighting your emotions—it’s about letting your body do what it was always meant to do.

I hope this helps someone out there. You’re not broken. Your body just needs to complete the process it never got to finish.

It's never too late to start again. Love yourself enough to help yourself or find someone that can help you, such as a therapist or good friend. God is my best friend, and he's helping me through hard challenges. I can't tell you how many times I have wept, and believe it or not, that's what it takes to release the trauma and hurt built up inside us, because God gave us tears for healing the soul and Spirit. There's nothing shameful about it. When you cry, never be ashamed, because it takes real courage to admit when we hurt. God never meant us to keep our pain pent up inside, as it comes out in our health and ruins our health, if we hold it hostage, inside. It's like drinking poison everyday, and expecting to feel well. That's not the way to do it.

I'm rooting for you and I'll be praying for you. Never give up, because just the minute you give up, that just may have been the very minute your breakthrough might have come through.
