“Trauma is a thief. It steals our childhoods, years of our adult lives, or even our entire lifetimes. It takes away our ability to feel connected to others, to feel like we belong in the world, and to receive and extend love. It prevents us from growing and thriving. It steals our relationships, work, physical health, families, communities, spirituality, hobbies, passions, and identity. And to add insult to injury, trauma then demands that we grieve these losses in order to heal from them, which can feel overwhelming.” TraumaTraumatic ExperiencesTraumatizedTrauma SurvivorsPtsd QuotesTraumaticTraumatic StressCptsdTrauma QuotesPtsd Awareness Book:You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms Source: You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms
