This is such a great subject and I love how you approached it. I think there can be both things at the same time when it comes to trauma..Last year a guy who I was trying to help tried to kill me, really crazy. From this trauma I learned a lot. Even though it was a tough time, I am thankful to God for helping me strengthen my faith.

Thank you Alexander. But what a brutal story you learned this lesson in! Mercy... Glad your life was spared. And glad for the growth and healing that have come since then.

So good. Minimization is an unhealthy coping response that feels helpful but doesn’t speak truth. And high five for how you weave creativity and therapeutic insights. I’m looking forward to reading more from you, Sam!
