Tightening your circle, misalignment, outgrowing people, quality over quantity, discernment, friendships that no longer fit….the list goes on.

Oof! This was a tough one - tough to live and tough to write. Peer reviewed by fellow medical trauma survivors, this is our take on friendship after trauma. The reality of how friendships change after trauma, how to show up for a friend who’s gone through trauma, & how necessary friendship is to healing.

After medical trauma, everything changes…so why wouldn’t your friendships? That makes it sound really simple, but figuring friendship after trauma is like trying to solve a Rubix cube, if the Rubix cube had fourteen times as many small cubes as the original Rubix cube and also you were taming a lion while trying to solve said mega Rubix cube.

Not everyone survives your survival. Unfortunately, trauma shows you with “painful clarity” where you stand with every friendship in your life. Over the course of your healing, friends - both old and new - will come in and out.

It will start off very chaotic, intense, & drastic - and stay that way for a damn bit - but overtime, it smooths out. You attract people you are a vibrational match for, so while your vibes are figuring themselves out, so are your friendships. Growth is lonely before it’s aligned.

While some connections will expire, you’ll have the most pure chemistry with the new ones you make and the old, healthy ones you keep: safety. My recovery & healing has brought me to the most beautiful friendships that I never would have found sans coma. It strengthened & grew some existing friendships into the most pure love.

Even though this episode does provide the harsh reality, it’s also a tribute & ode to some of the most incredible people I’ve met and those that I’ve kept.

Win most, lose some
