118 Affirmations for Healing Trauma

Please share with others!

I’m so sorry for the pain that you’ve been through. I know from experience that recovering from trauma feels like learning to walk again after being hit by a bus. And I’m sorry if it’s feels like no one understands your pain and how hard it is to walk again after that pain. You are not being dramatic, it happened to you and it wasn’t fair.

You didn’t deserve it.

I made these affirmations because I want to walk with you in your healing process. I want to help you leave the pain and the person that hurt you in the past (where they belong). I want to help you move forward and grab hold of your BRIGHT future and fall in love with your inner BEAUTY & POWER.
