Darksky a for you.
And well done for finding the thread.

And good to hear a positive side confetti.

We tend to spend a lot of time trying to overcome our demons and fighting the residue of trauma, but we rarely open up about our inner feelings or experiences.
There is an element of fear in even doing that.
Do we want to open up old wounds? Will it make us relive the moment? Will it make us feel worse?
I can't answer that, but is it healthy to carry that pain around manifesting inside and constantly feeding us with fear?
We are all different and one person will cope differently to another and be affected differently.
But underneath, are we all the same?
Can a trauma even be stored for many years to affect us later in life, by a trigger?
I think it can and my experiences confirm that for me.
Hard to change the thought of a trigger, but maybe dealing with the original trauma is the answer.
