You are not afraid, you experience fear.

You are not afraid, you experience fear.
You are not sad. You experience sadness.
You are not angry. You experience anger.
You are not traumatised. You experience trauma.
You are not ashamed. You experience shame.

This is not said to deny the reality of your circumstances, but to offer you a doorway to healing and freedom.

Use the fear
Use the sadness
Use the anger
Use the trauma
Use the shame

as guiding lights to the real you; divine essence having a human experience.
