@therapistinrecovery: Trauma is nuanced and we need to talk about it in a more nuanced and balanced way. That doesn’t mean we become toxically positive or minimize the difficulty of something, but clients are shocked when I ask what strengths came out of their trauma, what resources did they realize they had that they didn’t know about. So changing the dialogue around trauma means we validate the hard AND acknowledge our resilience which in turn makes us more resilient the next time we go through something difficult. #traumatok #complextrauma #traumainformed #anxietytherapist #mentalhealthmatters

Not every negative experience is trauma. Sometimes they are negative experiences. However, the term trauma can be validating the lived experience of one’s life so that they can hold that emotion and experience so that we can talk about the survivor, not the victim.
