Trauma does not know time.

If you have had a traumatic event in the past and experience a trigger of that event, you may feel as though that trauma is happening in current time. Re-experiencing trauma is a painful, yet common experience for many with trauma histories. If you have had historical trauma, be easy on yourself. Our brains do not interpret trauma through a linear lens. Until deep healing occurs, the trauma does not know that it has been several years since the experience and that you are safe now. #trauma #healingtrauma #stresslessnow
