Trauma is no joke. I wish I knew these things in my early 20s.

Trauma can absolutely become the filter through which you see life and cause you to respond accordingly. Quite a challenge to refocus that lens- but it can be done, especially when addressed early on.

Trauma tears apart our hearts but i like that comment the amythelifecoach made your trauma doesnt make you damaged or broken <3

Yeah. I realized the same last year. It helps to talk about it and recognize the specific source

Yeah, it does mess up your ability trust in so many ways.

Let me know if you needs breaks from me

So does the experience of being gaslighted.

Thats some facts right there.

Yup! But once you conquer it you become strong! Think of the awareness you gain from years of paranoia. Once you let go of the fear and it no longer consumes you, you gain amazing situational awareness. If your able to view your hardships as lessons you can learn from them. Wisdom.

I wish I knew this too. I would have made so many other choices.
