Strategies for managing #mentalhealth #ymhc

Trauma changes us forever. Working through the feelings of what happened to us can lead to our liberation and freedom. It's not an easy journey at all, it means... finding someone we can talk to as we peel the layers of the trauma back within our hearts and bodies. We ourselves are responsible for the life we ultimately make for ourselves, even though we have been victimized, we are not victims of life, don't claim that title for yourself. We are warriors. I am a trauma survivor. I speak from first hand experience. You are the one you have been waiting for my loves. See more
