Do you ever truly overcome your trauma?
or do you just learn how to live with it effectively and productively?

Trauma gets stored in a part of the brain known as the amygdala. It is the area of the brain also responsible for emotion.
I believe to protect us, the brain changes our memories of traumatic incidents, masking them. But I'm not sure that it helps us learn to live better with trauma.
As someone with PTSD, I think the battle to cope is ongoing.
