Good take work, and one of the hardest parts of building and maintaining satisfying and supportive relationships is repairing after rupture (i.e. conflict).

everybody responds to trauma differently, and there are so many ways in which trauma can manifest in our behaviors and thoughts. when i experienced trauma for the first time, i spiraled through all of these - a whirlwind of inner chaos and outer destruction. i’m sending all my love to those of you who are struggling with the aftermath of trauma right now. do you relate to any of these responses ? what are some trauma responses you’ve experienced ? •
