“Trauma can twist souls, turning pain into cruelty and aggression. Some people, instead of finding healing, become vessels for darkness, harboring legions of demons that fuel their rage. They seek to destroy others' happiness and peace, fueled by a deep-seated anger and entitlement. These wolves in sheep's clothing masquerade as innocent, but their true nature is cold-hearted and vengeful. When you walk away from their toxic grasp, they unleash their full fury upon you. Their malice knows no bounds, driven by a desire to annihilate your joy and serenity. In their darkness, they cannot bear the light of others' happiness.”

“Trauma destroys the fabric of time. In normal time you move from one moment to the next, sunrise to sunset, birth to death. After trauma, you may move in circles, find yourself being sucked backwards into an eddy or bouncing like a rubber ball from now to then to back again. ... In the traumatic universe the basic laws of matter are suspended: ceiling fans can be helicopters, car exhaust can be mustard gas.”

“Trauma dissociates us from the parts of our body that are wounded, so we have to leave our whole body. It's a journey you take your whole life, that coming back in, re-landing in your body, in your self, on the Earth. I think one of the reasons it's been so easy, in a way, for us to violate both women and the Earth is this profound dissociation that exists in everyone.”
“Trauma does not have to occur by abuse alone...”

“Trauma doesn't live in the memory. It lives in the nervous system — quietly shaping every reaction, every relationship, every choice that follows.”
“Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey.”
“Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence. Not only can trauma be healed, but with appropriate guidance and support, it can be transformative.”
“Trauma is a hard thing to erase. Feeling like you're going to die is something that's impossible to forget. The cuts and bruises...will eventually fade. The emotional scars? I don't know if those will ever go away.”

“Trauma is a memory hog,
It gobbles up all available space
in the brain,
leaves little room to mark
daily happenstances,
or even routine injuries
which are less than
life-threatening.”

“Trauma is a rude awakening, but also an opportunity to edit the script from believing to knowing. Self define for destiny's shine!”
“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.”

“Trauma is hell on earth. Trauma resolved is a gift from the gods.”
“TRAUMA IS NOT A LIFE SENTENCE
To release what needs releasing we have to approach our darkness by focusing on the light that we can see behind it. The darkness within us is just an obstacle on our path to joy, peace and happiness – nothing more. All we need to do is choose to release it. We have to choose that we will not be held hostage by it any longer. We have to choose that we are not our past.
WE HAVE TO CHOOSE LIFE OVER EXISTENCE”

“Trauma isn’t a competition, Mercia. Just because others had it worse doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to hurt. Pain is pain. We all feel it differently. What might be agonizing to one person is barely a scratch to another. You are allowed to process yours however you need to. But this… the drinking, the self-destruction? That’s not the way. You’re hurting, Mercia. Like any other wound, you should be taking care of it. Not all wounds are visible.”

“Trauma. It doesn't eke itself out over time. It doesn't split itself manageably into bite-sized chunks and distribute itself equally throughout your life.
Trauma is all or nothing. A tsunami wave of destruction.
A tornado of unimaginable awfulness that whooshes into your life - just for one key moment - and wreaks such havoc that, in just an instant, your whole world will never be the same again.”

“Trauma manifests and affects everyone on its path. In order to move forward you must own it, process it, heal, reflect, and accept that what is no matter how painful it might be.”

“Trauma never goes away completely, it changes perhaps, softens some with time, but never completely goes away.”
“Trauma or no, I would have been trans no matter what body I'd been born with. Tell the doctors that we exist for the health of humanity, which needs to find wholeness and belief in complexity. Girl in boy's body or boy inside a girl; call it fate or biology, will, or spiritual choice. But I was not born in the wrong body.
-Scott Turner Schofield, "The Wrong Body”
“Trauma really does confront you with the best and the worst. You see the horrendous things that people do to each other, but you also see resiliency, the power of love, the power of caring, the power of commitment, the power of commitment to oneself, the knowledge that there are things that are larger than our individual survival. And in some ways, I don't think you can appreciate the glory of life unless you also know the dark side of life”
“Trauma reflected upon in tranquility can produce morally stunning insights - literary light! It can also produce maudlin rubbish.”

“Trauma-related structural dissociation should be distinguished from more ubiquitous phenomena that are often termed dissociation, but likely have a different underlying process. Over the past several decades the original meaning of dissociation has been quite extended by the addition of other phenomena not typically considered to be dissociative. These include alterations in consciousness such as absorption, daydreaming, imaginative involvement, altered time sense, trance-like behavior, and “highway hypnosis” (e.g., Bernstein & Putnam, 1986).”
“Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think. We have discovered that helping victims of trauma find the words to describe what has happened to them is profoundly meaningful, but usually it is not enough. The act of telling the story doesn't necessarily alter the automatic physical and hormonal responses of bodies that remain hypervigilant, prepared to be assaulted or violated at any time. For real change to take place, the body needs to learn that the danger has passed and to live in the reality of the present.”

“Trauma ruptures and hollows. Compassion mends and fills; love heals.”
“TRAUMA STEALS YOUR VOICE
People get so tired of asking you what's wrong and you've run out of nothings to tell them.
You've tried and they've tried, but the words just turn to ashes every time they try to leave your mouth.
They start as fire in the pit of your stomach, but come out in a puff of smoke.
You are not you anymore.
And you don't know how to fix this.
The worst part is...you don't even know how to try.”
“Trauma survivors who can remove themselves from a toxic environment may have a higher chance of making progress towards recovery. On the other hand, those who stuck in such an environment may find it more difficult to improve their mental health conditions.”

“Trauma wounds are invisible. We cannot see visible bruises, cuts, or scars. Yet, if we don’t tend to them, we can carry them throughout our lives. We may relive our trauma over and over, again.”

“Trauma, and certain important experiences, can imprint on us at a genetic level.”
“Traumas embed when our system is overwhelmed by pain and fear without having sufficient internal resources or companionship to help integrate the experience ...
Our people may see others being present, but as either unavailable for support or actively injurious, or the experience may have been so terrifying that even had someone tried to help, our people might not have been able to receive it ...
what remains now is a sense of isolation with the remaining anguish and terror. Over the years, I have found that as soon as a sense of accompaniment enters the memory, there is a new foundation for doing the work. Just as our people have internalized those who injured them, that same capacity can bring us inside to support processing the emotions and to resolve this primary wound of being alone.”
