First and foremost, we will never judge or look down on you—you are a survivor and you deserve to be looked up to. Secondly, the fear, self-blame, or shame you feel is probably coming straight from the wounds that you have endured. And we deeply empathize with your experience.
Trauma treatment is not just about moving forward with the future, it’s about understanding, processing, and finally reconciling the past so you’re no longer subject to its power. And that includes freeing yourself from feelings of guilt, judgment, and shame.
