Acknowledging Your Trauma Matters

What you're experiencing is real. It's not your fault. Living with someone who shouts,

curses, or lashes out is stressful and it affects both your body and your mind.

You are allowed to want a life where your body isn't constantly bracing for impact.

You deserve safety, peace, and a caring environment. Validating trauma matters because

it reduces shame. Too often people say things like- Ooh, ooh,

ooh. "It didn't happen." Ooh, ooh, ooh.

"It's no big deal." Ooh, ooh, ooh. "There were no broken

bones or cuts." But emotional, verbal- Ooh, ooh, ooh.
