Forgive Yourself

Is Your Trauma Holding You Back?

🗝️ The Shadow, The Scar & The Truth About Accountability Alright — let’s get real. You’ve heard me say it before: You can’t heal what you won’t face. That’s the shadow work, right? That dark corner of your psyche where the trauma lives — the parts you want to pretend don’t exist. If you’ve been hurt — physically, sexually, emotionally — that wound leaves a scar you’ll carry forever. But scars don’t have to fester. They will, though, if you bury them in denial. So hear me loud and clear: 👉 Your trauma is real. 👉 Your pain is valid. 👉 But your trauma is not a hall pass to be an asshole for the rest of your life. Capisce? Good. Now — let’s break down the psychology of accountability: ✅ Accountability = Ownership. Psychologically speaking, it’s the difference between “Yeah, life hurt me, so I get a free pass to stay broken” … and “Life hurt me — but what I do next is on me.” It’s not just saying “I screwed up.” It’s: “I screwed up — now here’s how I’m gonna make it right.” No excuses. No deflections. Just radical ownership and forward motion. 🧠 Shadow work + accountability = freedom. No more living as a victim to your own darkness. 👇 Drop ONE thing you’re gonna own this week — and what action you’re taking to fix it.
