As Dr. Gabor Mate said, “Trauma is not what happens to you, it is what happens INSIDE YOU.” Only YOU know if an experience was traumatic for you or not, but if you don’t understand what psychological trauma is, it’s hard to give language to what you have experienced.

No matter what today brings, just remember tomorrow is a new day! If things seem like you just can’t make it one more day, reach out for help. I know all too well the medical system has failed so many people, but please know someone cares, you are important, you are valuable, and that someone that cares…is ME! I care about humans healing from psychological trauma, all forms and types of trauma, as well as anyone overcoming any adversities, seeking or in sustained recovery, those utilizing harm reduction of any form/fashion, and ALL HUMANS no matter what you have or haven’t done in your life, everyone deserves to be cared for, and I care for and have a desire to support any and all humans with a desire to learn and heal!

Please reach out if ever you need support or someone to talk too. I can share resources and there’s never any cost for my sharing resources with you, EVER! Every single human deserves a chance to live their life in recovery and to create connection with one another.

The man doesn’t know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn’t know that there is a stone crushing the man. The woman thinks: “I am going to fall! And I can’t climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can’t the man use a little more strength and pull me up!” The man thinks: “I am in so much pain! Yet I’m still pulling you as much as I can! Why don’t you try and climb a little harder!?”
The moral is— you can’t see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can’t see the pain you’re in. This is life, whether it’s with work, family, feelings or friends, we should try to understand each other. Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better. A little thought and patience goes a long way.

Be kind to people. Everyone we meet is fighting their own battle.

YOU’VE GOT THIS! As a friend once said to me, “You’ve made it through 💯% of the tough days so far, if today is to much…go to bed and try again tomorrow!” That really resonated deeply with me, and I do my best to live by it, even though some days I can’t just “go to bed” sometimes I do in my mind, just not always physically!

You do not have to feel like a victim for speaking your truth no matter what people say or society makes you feel! You are a SURVIVOR telling YOUR TRUTH & REALITY! Nobody can change that regardless of how they try to spin it to make you appear to be the cause of it all!
