Why me? You ask yourself this all the freaking time. It’s hard! It’s unfair. It’s not your fault and you can’t change it. How the hell do you move forward, re-learning everything you used to know? Guilt and Shame are heavy, and maybe you feel like a burden to your friends and family. It makes sense why envy and resentment come up with people who just don’t get it. Rehab facilities, Physical Therapist, The list goes on and on. You angrily ask yourself, can I even get into the building? Learning how to do basic body functions all over again feels embarrassing. Loneliness and isolation can start to creep in, but there is a light
Adapting to this new lifestyle is hard but not impossible. You deserve to regain control over your day to day in a more confident and comfortable manner. Learning to feel more comfortable in your own body takes work, and you can do it. You are resilient and deserve to feel more confident managing those emotions when they do come up.
Looking for someone who’s been there, done that? Someone w/ a SCI I understand struggles, accessibility, and wanting to be seen. Your feelings are valid, and you’re allowed to feel them all. I’ll hold space so you’re able to express yourself without feeling guilty or worrying what others around you think. Call me today for a 15-minute consultation.
