We cannot logic our way out of Trauma
We cannot logic our way out of trauma. This is one of the main reasons many people who have experienced trauma feel they have ‘failed’ after years of being in talking therapy or using self-help material.

I saw a meme quoting "To heal a wound, you first need to stop touching it". I would say, I believe that it is more the other way round
I am mindful how the current situation can be very triggering for those suffering from complex trauma/Complex PTSD. For example, it can make your symptoms worse and put you in a constant survival mode (fight/flight/freeze/dissociate). The constant hypervigilant state can be very exhausting. It can trigger a sense of loss, loneliness and abandonment, helplessness, uncertainty and unpredictability.
