Trauma stays in our nervous system and they affect us for far longer after the abuser has left from our life . Forgiveness is a choice and forgetting isn't always possible . Less judgment and more understanding and empathy . (edited)

Im so used to having people be offended or upset with me for falling asleep and not saying good night or whatever that when it happens, I wake up in a state of panic and I feel terrible. Today, I received this response and it has really resonated with me. It made me realize that: Those who get... read more

Deep conversations

Do you prefer superficial light hearted conversing or diving deep into childhood trauma mind bending adventures?
