Trauma can rob survivors of their ability to trust their own memories and feelings.

When a person is assaulted or abused, their brain goes into “survival mode” and releases various neurotransmitters that allow for that person to survive the attack.

None of this is your fault!

Let me say that again- None of this is your fault. Regardless of your story, someone chose to harm you, and that decision sits firmly on them. No matter how your healing unfolds, know that this is not your shame to carry.🙏🏾
