Do you ever truly heal from childhood trauma?

I have found the most comfort from getting a therapist that understands severe trauma without making me feel like I need to forgive them. The big thing I've had to work on is letting myself feel the pain instead of trying to logic myself out of it. Letting myself cry for the things that happened when I didn't have a safe space, letting myself be uncontrollably mad that someone did that, letting myself mourn the experiences I didn't get to have because I wasn't given what I needed. Trauma doesn't care how long it's been. It's like a thorn that's been stuck and grown infected. Digging through it to clean it out hurts like hell and you might need help with it. But it'll help the healing along more than hoping it'll go away.

I don't think it ever FULLY goes away...you just learn to live with it. You can get to 99% healed and healthy but traumas stick around. It's about accepting that it happened and not letting it control you. Easier said than done but I'm here if you need to vent.🙏

Honestly no if felt fully healed and it been years how ever I do really well for while before ever comes crashing back full force but ever year the time between episodes gets slightly longer

I’m so sorry you going through all this. This is me, I tell my self over and over to overcome my traumas of rape, stabbed and much more. WHY WILL I LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE MY POWER, CONTROL MY EMOTIONS MY LIFE?. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW IT. THEY LIVING FREELY DOING THEIR THING AND IM CARRYING A BURDEN THAT WAS NEVER MY FAULT. I OWN MY POWER I OWN MY EMOTIONS NOBODY ELSE WILL TAKE MY POWER. IS ONLY YOURS TO TAKE. After doing my affirmations I never cried again I forgave and felt free. Try it it takes time but is possible. Blessings! ❤️
