Someone once asked...

“Something horrible happened to me when I was a tween. It still haunts me. I have ptsd to this day. I just want some support.”

Someone answered with kindness...

We know not what happened to you, but you've reached out. This is hopefully one of multiple steps you take in the pursuit of helping yourself. What happened will likely remain a part of you, but know that it can shrink in comparison to the rest of your life as you keep living it. I recommend looking into the Kawa Model developed by japanese occupational therapists to shed light on how all our lives change and develop in response to expected and unexpected events.
