Welcome to Robbin’s Nest, the empowerment podcast with nourishment for the mind and spirit. Welcome to the Nest.

Robbin Sexton : 0:14

It's Robbin, your empowerment coach. Welcome to the Nest. The last time we were together, we talked about the recovery room and I began to really think about more, about the pain of recovery. The cut was necessary. There's something inside me that is killing me. It may be poisoning me. It's doing something from the inside. I know it needs to happen. I know I need for it to come out, but the pain of the recovery, the pain of the cut. When I move it hurts. I know my gallbladder needed to come out, but I hate the pain that comes from the healing.

Robbin Sexton : 1:00

What happens when you're having pain during the healing? There is pain even in recovery. I'm not able to jump up and go like I used to. The pain affects my movement. The pain causes me to walk more carefully because I don't want to cause even more harm. It causes me to guard my wound. I can't give just anybody access to it. I don't want to reopen it. I don't want to cause more damage. The memory of what I went through can cause more damage if I begin to dwell on it too long. I don't want to cause infection, so I have to make sure that my wounds are kept clean.

Robbin Sexton : 1:45

You have to watch what you grab when you're in pain, because all you want is the pain to stop. So you're in a relationship and it ended and you're hurting and you grab the first thing that you see or the first person you come in contact with, because all you want is the pain to stop. Be careful who you give access to when you're in your healing season, because in your effort to stop the pain, you could reach for somebody who will cause you even more pain. Now, not only am I still trying to heal from the old wound, but you came and gave me a new wound, so now I'm trying to heal from the old and the new at the same time. Sometimes, even after your surgery, you have the scars to prove that you've had surgery, but after it's healed you'll be able to touch it without experiencing the pain of it. It doesn't cause you pain to hear his name anymore. I don't have that knot in my stomach when I have a memory of the incest. I'm on the other side of it.

Robbin Sexton : 2:58

The last steps of recovery it's getting easier. I'm moving without feeling pain. I can exercise again. I'm returning to myself. I can return to work. I'm making a full and complete recovery At the end of it. If I watch what I try to use, if I watch and make sure I don't use a bad bandage, if I watch and make sure I don't give somebody access to it and reopen it. If I watch and I'm careful and I begin to move slow, but I'm moving I begin to heal again, I begin to laugh again without having to splint it because it hurts. For me to even laugh is over. I can return to myself. Let it hurt, Let it heal and then let it go. You survived the trauma. You will survive the recovery too. This is Robin from the Nest. The recovery may cause pain, but you survived the trauma. You survived the injury. You survived the cut. You're going to survive the recovery too. This is Robin from the Nest. We're in the complete recovery room.
