Dr. Gabriel Barsawme, LSW

Healing doesn’t make life easier. It makes it truer. You’ll feel more— but also numb less. You’ll grieve deeper— but also love more freely. The cost of wholeness is high. But the cost of self-abandonment is higher.
 
You don’t need to understand every wound to heal it. The body doesn’t speak in sentences. It speaks in breath, in tension, in trembling. Sometimes the most sacred healing happens when words fall away, and presence takes their place. 
 
Anger isn’t the enemy. It’s the body’s protest against invisibility, betrayal, and unmet needs. You weren’t “too emotional.” You were too alone with your emotions. Let the fire speak. Let it move. Then let it soften into truth. 
 
Some of your sadness isn’t just yours. It’s ancestral. It lives in your posture, your silence, your over-explaining. You weren’t just born into a family. You inherited a nervous system shaped by generations. You are not weak for breaking the cycle. You are holy for trying. 
 
You are not the version of yourself you had to become to survive. You are the quiet before the wound. The light beneath the armor. The life that was waiting once it was safe to feel again.
