The truth is you’re not broken…

You’re not broken, you’re wounded and therein lies your key.

You’re not broken, you’re wounded and therein lies your key.

Being ‘broken’ is a sadly common phrase, too easily picked up and worn like a final statement.

The truth is you’re not broken. You’re wounded. And realising this makes for more self compassion, more recognition of the places that need healing.

And ultimately realising you’re wounded instead of broken, gives you the key to knowing what you need right now, right here, this moment and then the next.

Being wounded offers a trail instead of a dead end.

It offers hope instead of finality.

And most of all it offers validation for the things you have faced and are facing.

When something is ‘broken’ it’s no longer of use, it usually means discarding and finality.

When something is wounded, it warrants care and tending.

It invites understanding, support, hope and patience. Most importantly from yourself to yourself.

The key is in owning the wounded self, it’s in hearing what that self needs and where it needs it most.

In time the wound becomes the key that leads you out.

I see you.

Keep going.

You matter. 

Forward we go,

Dr Lynika
