First Steps Toward Healing with Shay Rowbottom #shorts

When you finally take that first step to, like, put down the drugs, put down the social media, and, like, really go into the pain, it gets easier. And I think you start to build neural pathways in your brain where you're like, oh, wait a minute. I did it. I didn't die. Like, I'm safe. Like, I could do it again. And you start to actually experience the benefits of fully processing things, moving through your body and coming out the other side, like, oh, I actually feel better. Wow. I actually cried. I haven't cried in years. Like, that probably needed to come out, you know? So it's like my new addiction is honoring the pain. Okay? I need to honor the pain. I need to honor the suffering.
