One of our biggest vulnerabilities as trauma survivors is minimizing our pain or our needs because we don't happen to have clear memories of events we (or others) consider "traumatic."

Memories don't create the "trauma." The impact of events— clearly remembered or not— does.

We want our Trauma Recovery Mission Statement (TRMS) to be truly collaborative, reflecting the needs & priorities of every "part" of us. "Parts" that feel left out, disrespected, or misunderstood might work to undermine our recovery— because what they hold & need matter, too.

I know it’s hard to want to cook or shop when depressed but I promise it’s worth it!

Many trauma recovery resources want to gloss over the very common symptom of risky sexual behavior— which often reinforces survivors' shame about it. But you need to know it's a widespread thing, & you're not "bad,"
"gross," or weird for struggling with it. At all.
