Working through trauma is such a shit show isn't it? And honestly, it was so hard to find anything that was good in my life for over a decade. I wish someone had pointed me in that direction though because it made my brain literally seek out the shit and ignore the good. I got so good at not being able to see anything good that it really took effort when I tried to see the happy stuff in my life again.
No idea if anyone is game for this but it was so helpful to me (still is). I used to ask my kids this every day when they came home from school.
What happened today that made you happy?
Who was nice to you today?
Was there anything you felt connected to?
That made you smile?
