People who have been through real trauma, how did you get over it?

I mean something life changing that challenged or broke the way you see the world around you.

I healed myself, sat in the pain, I relived it al, felt everything, understanding why it happened, how it happened and the people that caused me pain, I was then able to forgive people who treated me badly throughout my life, because they were in pain too.

It’s freeing, my life transformed through it, it wasn’t easy but I can honestly say now I’m at peace and feel no pain now.

@Achelois They are in pain yes... I've forgiven them mostly. Sometimes I still struggle with anger.

The odd thing is that what breaks my heart way more than what happened to me is what happens to other people. Those are the vivid memories.

If you still have anger, you still need to work through it.

@Achelois How could I ever not be angry?

You deal with it, if you still attached to the pain, through anger or grief etc
You still need to work on it, I felt anger with my ex that abused me, I don’t now, it sets you free. 🦋
