“There is the mud, and there is the lotus that grows out of the mud. We need the mud in order to make the lotus.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh-

Resilience. Perseverance. Growth.

The lotus flower begins its journey in murky waters—pushing through the mud before it ever reaches the surface to bloom. Its strength lies not in avoiding the darkness, but in rising through it. Similarly, the challenges we face shape our inner resilience.

Trauma—whether sharp or prolonged—can cloud how we see ourselves and the world.

Along the way, we may adopt beliefs such as “I’m not safe,” “I’m too much,” or “I have to stay in control.”

Some beliefs help us survive. Others keep us stuck. But just like the lotus, your growth isn’t about escaping the mud. It’s about using it to rise.

Therapy Can Help You Rise

Healing doesn’t mean erasing the past. Instead, it’s about coming to new understandings and acceptance — changing your relationship to it.

At Lucent Paths, we offer evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy to help you process what you’ve been through, understand the story you’re carrying, and begin to write a new one. Therapy is a space to reconnect with your voice, restore your sense of safety, and rediscover the strength that’s been with you all along.
