It's true, we shouldn't have to navigate interactions with certain family members like we're stepping through a minefield— but we do. The fact we "shouldn't have to" doesn't change that fact. Realistically prep for those interactions. Go in with a strategy & tools. Safety first.

How do you feel about being called ‘resilient’ … when you’ve been through terrible things you had no control over? 💜💜💜

If the experience is a single event, and we have adequate support afterward, and we have had little or no prior trauma, then we will be left shaken, but the events will feel “behind” us now. If traumatic events have been recurrent, and/or we are developmentally vulnerable, and/or we have inadequate support, we can be left with a host of ‘implicit’ memories, intense responses and symptoms that “tell the story” but without words and without the knowledge that we are remembering.

People can't see it from the outside, but trauma survivors' nervous systems are doing like 100X more work than the average person's.

We don't feel permanently burned out for no reason— under the hood, our engines are ALWAYS redlining. Even when we're supposedly "at rest."
