This week two of our Wonderful Admin Team wrote thoughtful analogies around our Complex Ptsd recovery on different days. I thought I’d share them with you to give you hope and encouragement plus so that you always know you are not alone in this journey.

From Seed to Harvest: The Garden of Recovery from Complex PTSD
Hello Fellow Seeds!
Maybe we are still in a hard shell,
Not able to break out and plant ourselves.
The environment hasn’t been particularly friendly.
It’s hard to want to come out of our shell,
When there is no water,
Which we so desperately need.
We know we won’t grow if there is no sunshine,
Which we so desperately need.
So we have protected ourselves and stayed in our shell.
We are still a seed.
It’s going to be painful to break out of our seed shell.
But we can see what happens when others do.
I see trees around me.
They are tall and beautiful,
And I feel like I’m in their shade.
But I am a seed.
I’m not a tree yet.
Or am I?
Maybe part of me is a tree already.
And I just THINK I’m still a seed,
So sometimes I ACT like a seed.
Because I’m a bit confused.
The environment doesn’t work for me.
Not enough water, not enough sun.
It hurts to grow when there isn’t enough.
Sometimes I lean towards the sun.
I’m worried I’m going to fall over.
Sometimes I get water,
So I soak it all up.
But I’m worried that I’m going to drown.
I’m confused.
Hey you over there,
I think I see something spouting.
Are you becoming a tree?
Oh, right, you don’t know yet.
No pressure.
Just wondering.
You look like you are going to be something amazing.
In fact, you already are.
Wow.
Whatever I am,
I can still grow.
I can become great.
I just need the environment
To be what I need it to be.
To be what I need me to be.
Hello seed.
How are you today?
What do you need
To grow?
