The people who hurt you are not coming back to heal you. You have to do that yourself.

I have to repeat myself because I want to make sure you're really hearing that. Maybe repeat it to yourself a few times. It's hard to know that the responsibility to heal is all on you. It's hard to be like "but they hurt me. They're the ones that did it. Isn't it their job to fix it?"

Healing is hard and that's why I really want to talk about it in this episode. The new year can make it feel like you can just shove everything that happened in the past in a little box and put it in the back of your closet, cover it up with new clothes and shoes and just completely forget about it. But if you do that you haven't healed from it yet. And you're just going to end up uncovering that box and having to deal with it at a later date. And it won't be pretty.

Here are the episode highlights:
