As I tried to deal with the damage that the traumatic events of my life had caused to me, I got frustrated because I couldn’t be the person I used to be, no matter how hard I tried… a part of me was different.
People would say to me, “I just wish you could be the way you used to be…” and that was devastating to hear because I was TRYING to be that guy! Then I came to the realization that I could never be that guy again… I WAS different, those events had changed part of me… and then I stumbled into a bit of wisdom from a documentary two friends of mine (Ken & Betty Rodgers) produced about trauma and how it impacts homes, families, and intimate relationships.
I heard a phrase in that documentary that inspired a thought inside my head: I NEED TO BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF ME! I knew I could do that, and that made total sense to me.
