I realize that this article has been highly technical and full
of unfamiliar terminology. However, there is one important
message I want you to take away from reading it. That
message is this; you are neither weird because of the
emotional problems you may be experiencing from
childhood trauma, nor are you without hope.
Like the jpg at the left states, you are not hopeless and
helpless victims any longer. You are survivors and
someday you will become thrivers. It’s a process, but with
the right help and encouragement from therapists and
organizations like the CPTSD Foundation, you will get
there.
Although your brain has sustained developmental damage
from what may have happened to you as a kid, that does
not mean those problems cannot be rectified.
