Myth # 3: You should be “over it” by now

If you’ve ever had someone say this to you, let me be clear: healing doesn’t follow a calendar. Trauma recovery isn’t about toughing it out or pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about learning how to feel safe again, piece by piece, in your own time. And if you need help, consult a professional to help you cope in healthy ways. You do not have to go it alone!
