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.
