You can read all the books ever written and take every psychology course ever taught about trauma and how to deal with it; it still won’t ever be enough when it comes to your own. People will tell you what worked for them and what they think will work for you; it won’t. No matter how similar others' experiences might be, the process of healing is never the same.
I’ve read the comments a few netizens wrote. Yes, I could have suffered worse. There are many who suffered worse. I wasn’t r.ped, repeatedly beaten and I was still alive. Yes, I’ll agree that those that suffered such things were far greater than mine, but this trauma was mine and mine alone. I can never put myself in anyone else’s shoes, neither could they put themselves in mine.
