In season 2, episode 8 of the Come.Union podcast, Ramonita and Erin discuss the powerful quote, "Scars don't bleed, wounds do," shared by their previous guest, Faith Corley. They explore the concept of healing from trauma and how scars serve as reminders of past wounds. They share personal stories and insights, emphasizing the importance of allowing ourselves time to heal and recognizing trauma responses. They also discuss the significance of forgiveness, even when an apology is not received, and the role of safe communities and therapy in the healing process.

Key Takeaways:

* Healing from trauma takes time and should not be rushed. Just like physical wounds, emotional wounds need time to scab, heal, and eventually form scars.

* Scars serve as reminders of past wounds, but they no longer cause pain. They are indications of healing and growth.

* Trauma responses can manifest in various ways, such as anxiety, overthinking, or projecting past hurts onto current relationships. Recognizing these responses is crucial for healing and growth.

* Healing can come from various sources, including therapy, safe communities, and the support of loved ones. It is important to find healthy ways to process and heal from past wounds.

* Forgiveness is a personal choice and can be given even when an apology is not received. It allows us to release the burden of holding onto anger and resentment.
