I feel like many of us will experience something traumatic and will be so afraid of experiencing it again that we lose many good things in the process. It's been a long time coming but I can say now, that I'm not gonna let that control my life, and neither can you. 

I promised some mental health resources below so here they are :)

Inkblot therapy (I've used it before and I've found it helpful and cheaper): https://inkblottherapy.com/

Topics mentioned: Fear, what it's for, surrendering, the need to be in control, empowering yourself, and living despite the fear.
