As you exit survival mode, the sense of calm can create huge swings of angst for parts of you who needed to be hyper-vigilant out of fear of new hurt. This takes time to adapt to, as you are integrating hard memories with new peace. Patience, & compassion. This is brave as hell. Faster is NOT a recipe for success. Faster does NOT equal better. You are NOT too old. You are NOT too late. You didn’t miss a chance to heal, and grow, and become more YOU. You are right on YOUR time.
