"Abuse survivors are often told they should be over their trauma, or that their experience was not real trauma. This can lead to feelings of being stuck and questioning the validity of their experiences."
"Healing is largely shaped by available support, safety, and resources, which not all of us have access to. Time alone does not heal what we have not yet processed."
Survivors of abuse often face skepticism about their trauma, with some being told they should have moved on. Healing is influenced by the availability of support, safety, and resources, which are not universally accessible. Time alone does not resolve unprocessed trauma. The experience of seeking validation can lead survivors to question the legitimacy of their feelings and experiences, often resulting in a cycle of self-doubt and intellectualization.
