In all of nature there comes a time to move or die-- From chrysalis to butterfly, longer than 13 days could mean death; from fetus to baby, longer than 40 weeks can be dangerous. Point is, it is safer to move into the next best version of yourself than to stay stuck in your posttraumatic prison. Flight, Flight, and freeze are trauma responses; moving out of the freeze, moving out of the fear, is a life necessity.
