A useful way to think about trauma

This post is meant to be a quick note, nothing more.

A useful way to think about trauma is to think of it as an addiction. 

I accept that it has power over me.

I know that it goes deep. 

I know that it penetrates all areas of my life. 

I need to be a contrarian: I need to go towards it and not away from it. Above all honesty I can kick in, I do all the inner work I can and seek every help possible. 

Self-observation and consciousness are my best friends.
