Recovery Reset – Healing Mind and Body at Your Own Pace

My Experience with Recovery

Recovering from cancer — or any major life change — is a journey, not a finish line.

At first, I tried to get back to the person I was “before.” I pushed myself to think, feel, and act like nothing had changed. But the truth was, that version of me didn’t exist anymore.

The cancer, surgical menopause, PTSD, and leaving a career I loved had changed me in ways I didn’t expect. I had to meet myself as I was now — and that meant slowing down, being kinder, and taking one day at a time.

Recovery looks different for everyone. It might be from illness, a loss, a divorce, or a job change. But it’s always personal. It’s about finding your own pace and your own way forward.

Why Recovery Feels This Way

Recovery is as much mental and emotional as it is physical. Your body and mind have been through a shock, and both need time to feel safe again.

Without that safety and deep rest, it’s hard for your nervous system to repair itself. Old thought patterns can keep you stuck in the past, and the pressure to “bounce back” only adds stress.
