So be patient, give yourself grace, give yourself time.
Healing from family estrangement isn't a quick fix. In this mini-episode of 'Introduction to Recovery From Fragmented Families', Mariam Ernest dives into why the journey to emotional recovery is more like a marathon than a sprint. She sheds light on how our brains are wired to resist change, clinging to familiar patterns even when they're harmful. This resistance can make the path to healing feel slow and frustrating. But Mariam offers a refreshing perspective: it's okay to take your time.
Healing deeply ingrained wounds requires patience and consistency. She emphasizes that building new neural pathways and healthier habits doesn't happen overnight, but the effort is worthwhile. Mariam's thoughtful insights provide a comforting reminder that progress, no matter how gradual, is still progress. Whether you're dealing with family estrangement or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable encouragement and practical advice for staying the course.
