What is one thing you wish people understood about trauma?

We asked our therapists: what is one thing you wish people understood about trauma?

Their answers challenge some of the most common misconceptions around trauma and healing from the idea that trauma is something 'wrong' with you to misunderstandings about survival responses. Here's what living with trauma and the process of recovery is really like.

Trauma affects everyone differently, and healing is rarely linear. We hope these reflections help create more compassion and understanding for women everywhere.
