Many of us are ready for 2022 to be over. We are nearing what is hopefully the end of a pandemic—travel is resuming again, and fear of catching COVID had been replaced by the almost-forgotten FOMO (fear of missing out).
Many start the new year with unattainable goals and unrealistic expectations, fearful of staining the black canvas before them. Then as the colder weather approaches, we look back on everything we did not accomplish or achieve, call the year a wash, and set our sights on the upcoming year.
If you experienced trauma during the past year, such as a traumatic breakup or divorce, a fallout with a family member, or if you are coming to terms with previous traumas, the end of the year can feel all the more necessary for healing.
