My trauma was triggered.
Two years ago today I had my 2nd of 3 foot surgeries for a severely abnormal mole. They saw cancer cells in the biopsy + could not rule out melanoma so recommended taking out a 5 mm margin around the original biopsy.
I’m so grateful for self-compassion as I told myself I was safe + that I was proud that I made it through the toughest thing I’ve ever had to endure.
Tears poured down my face as I comforted myself. I’m okay.

I’m grateful for Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion. I would not be here without it.
💟🌟💟
I’m so happy to be able to comfort myself and recover quickly from being triggered.
Oh yeah, and fuck cancer!

Trauma Triggered
I survived once more
The trauma triggered
From my foot surgeries
This morning as I saw
Pics from the hospital
Two years ago.
I comforted myself as
I was caught off guard.
Tears poured down
My face as the
Trauma was triggered.
In the past, I resisted
Uncomfortable feelings
But this morning
I allowed it all while
I told myself I was safe
And let the pain flow.

Trauma Triggered (continued)
I went offline briefly
But allowing is so
Much better than resisting,
Fearing, and trying to
Outrun the pain.
I’m okay.
I am okay!
Self-compassion is
A wonderful thing.
