 People often want to know, how can I be enough or do enough, to help themselves or a loved one through a diagnosis, event, or emergency? Or how can I help/fix someone else, especially a child? And the truth is similar to an airplane emergency, you need to put your mask on first.
Take the time to get clear on what you need to heal, and what you want to do; and lay down all of the lower vibrations of guilt, shame, should, and could have. A good step is to become a PLJ Champion (link opens in a new window) and learn why it works faster than gratitude to raise your vibration. Another good step is to embrace learning. Maybe it's about a disease or manipulation tactics, how to write a safety plan, how to be an advocate, about trauma responses, how the 988 system works, (link opens in a new window) how to talk to someone who may be considering suicide, etc. The more you know about a topic, and not just the surface-level stuff, but really know, meaning you could explain it to a 4th grader, then you are in a better position to help. You are also in a better position to not lose yourself and to maintain your boundaries for your own wellness. Make your present and your future about a fully healed you, and become that ripple that heals the generations in your family.
