RECOVERY

Vengeance. 
It is a powerful motivator. 
It compels incredible acts. Acts of unmitigated cruelty, acts of reckless courage and acts of destructive rage.
The trauma manifests itself in many different ways. 
The manifestations of trauma is myriad and shocking. 
The process of healing tears down this outflows of trauma and shocks you. 
The process of healing is quite a bit more frightening than the trauma itself. 
You can't hide from the healing. You have to experience it. 
It is suddenly shockingly clear that you have hidden your personality behind trauma responses. 
What do you do then? 
How do you distinguish the trauma response from who you are? 
Just Me.
