Living with Trauma Every Day?
Trauma does not just fade away. You might notice it showing up when you least expect it — through fear, numbness, or isolation. You avoid people or situations because facing them feels impossible. Some days, it takes everything you have just to get through the basics.
You may wonder why you cannot move on like everyone else seems to. It can feel like you are stuck in a loop of fear, shame, or anger, without a way out. Even thinking about asking for help feels like another mountain to climb.
You are not weak for feeling this way. You deserve real help that makes a real difference.
