Setting Realistic Expectations in Recovery

Post 160 – Setting Realistic Expectations in Recovery

Recovery from trauma is a complex and non-linear process. Setting realistic expectations helps prevent discouragement and supports sustained healing.

Allow yourself grace and patience as you navigate this journey.

Tactics Breakdown – Managing Expectations

  • Acceptance: Recognizing that healing takes time and effort
  • Small Goals: Breaking recovery into achievable steps
  • Self-Compassion: Being kind to yourself during setbacks
  • Celebrating Progress: Acknowledging even small improvements

Be Patient With Yourself

Healing is not a race but a personal journey. Embrace each step forward.

Your resilience grows with every day.
