Today is PTSD awareness day.

Trauma counselling can help you:
- feel more comfortable taking up space
- help you find (and use) the voice you’ve been silencing
- can help you to realize that you are not “too much” or “too little” of anything.

You are the perfect you.

Grief needs to be honored. This means letting yourself feel what you need to feel, when you need to feel it. We live in a culture that doesn't particularly like pain, especially lingering pain. We prefer instant cures and fast fixes. Grief has its own time table. So don't resist it. Let it be what it needs to be.
