You’ve been here before
Is it DeJa'Vu? Puzzled, you walked through the door
Hit with a pain you vowed never again to feel
Something triggered this response you thought you healed
Frustrated, hurt, disappointment running through your veins
This is absurd, you’re feeling insane

A voice then whispers to remind you of what’s true
This is just a layer of healing you had not yet gone through
You may feel like you’re going backwards as you process this all
When in fact you’re been propelled forward when you answer the call
For allowing the deeper stuff to come up and be let go
It’s the only path that can cultivate wisdom and growth

Choose to find the lesson you are being guided to
It will one day be a gift to someone else from you
Fall back to travel faster, you won’t regret
Embracing the bow and arrow affect
For a new version of you will be on the other side
Will you be a low or rising tide; you get to decide.

In my personal life and working with clients, I’ve experienced and witnessed being blindsided by something that triggers a response we weren’t expecting. Outside of working with someone to directly help with that, one of the biggest and most important things you can do is treat yourself with compassion and give yourself some grace. Also, if someone else triggered you and experienced your response with you, a conversation may need to be had. Perhaps I can write another article on that topic. For now, take good care of your heart and mind.

I hope this poem made you feel seen, heard, and/or understood, inspires you to tap into your inner strength, know you’re valuable and keep going. That’s what gives me fuel!

Imagine what you could do if something wasn’t holding you back. Imagine what you’d be doing if you could figure out what it was holding you back and eliminate it! If aren’t already working with someone who helps remove those unconscious triggers, I’d be honored to have a conversation with you. Book a Neuroemotional Detox Mini Session now.
