Many of us grew up in abusive households. Our caretakers repeated the behavior they experiences. "Trauma is the gift that keeps on giving" said psychotherapist Maria Hess. We must understand our traumas and then begin the process of healing. Therapy, exercise, journaling, reading, and finding healthy friendships. #togethertowardhealth #mentalhealth #childhoodabuse #emotionalabuse #Trauma #emotionalhealing
