And this! I too am unfortunately an expert at “minimizing.”

But you can’t heal a wound if you’re constantly folding the trauma deeper within. Dressing trauma in soft clothing or calling the resulting symptoms “being dramatic” or sticking it under a rug or wishing it away doesn’t help you heal. It actively harms. Pain of this magnitude is a collective soul-sucking nightmare.
It’s Not You. It’s Trauma.

And this! I too am unfortunately an expert at “minimizing.” It’s a terrible defense tactic that truly does keep us trapped in trauma, and the trauma trapped in our body.
