Today I talk about the Terrifying Euphoria, a concept I reference a lot. It is something that I feel we often encounter in our healing journey.

- We sometimes identify with the trauma we have encountered in our lives

- As harmful as abuse is, it is familiar harm

- Escaping from abuse means stepping into the unknown

- It is hard to know who we are without the trauma, pain, and experiences

- The prospect of reinventing ourselves can be overwhelming, and scare us into staying still and not healing.
