"The Deep End of the Ocean"

Forthcoming Book from Joyce Anne Day

Welcome! This is safe place of encouragement for those working on healing from their past. We share inspiration, poetry, and essays on healing from trauma, addiction, and compulsive behaviors along with occasional events and workshops addressing trauma's role in our everyday lives.

Remember:

Trauma is not what happened, it is not the event itself. It is the wound that formed in us from experiencing the event. That is what we seek to heal. We cannot change the past, but we can heal ourselves from it.

Finally, we do not compare events here, as what causes trauma for one may look very different than what causes trauma for another. Instead we seek to find compassion for ourselves and others as we heal from the wounds of our past, whatever those might have been.

Many blessings to you as you find your way to peace & wholeness.

Joyce
