Love this poem by Tanya Markul.

"What doesn't kill you can:

-Dysregulate your nervous system
-Trap itself in your body
-Steal your sense of self
-Make you wish it did

I don't know what "makes you stronger" means, but let's stop glorifying trauma as a life-lesson we've been blessed with."

"Trauma permanently changes us. This is the big, scary truth about trauma: there is no such thing as "getting over it." The five stages of grief model marks universal stages in learning to accept loss, but the reality is in fact much bigger: a major life disruption leaves a new normal in its wake. There is no 'back to the old me.' You are different now, full stop. This is not a wholly negative thing. Healing from trauma can also mean finding new strength and joy. The goal of healing is not a papering-over of changes in an effort to preserve or present things as normal. It is to acknowledge and wear your new life-- warts, wisdom, and all-- with courage." -Catherine Woodlwiss
