Mental health recovery and trauma recovery is not a linear process, and thinking that it should be only creates more shame and defeat. As you walk the path of healing, It’s important to remember that…

• the grief process is not linear

• mental health recovery is not linear

• addiction recovery is not linear

• healing a broken heart is not linear

• trauma processing is not linear

• learning to set healthy boundaries is not linear

• self-growth in therapy and counseling is not linear

Be kind to YOU and offer yourself compassion and grace every time you stumble or fall. This is how you heal.
