Thing I learned at camp:

“When we love ourselves, it’s infectious.”

Things I learned at “ camp”:

  • is a wound to the body, mind, & spirit.
  • Trauma, while caused by past events, actually lives in the body, in the present.
  • Healing from trauma does not require re-experiencing the event. We can heal from trauma that we don’t remember.
  • A multimodal approach to trauma recovery is ideal. Not every mode works for every person.
  • The behavioral model for mental health is fundamentally broken pseudoscience.

🤔 Is pathological demand avoidance a form, or derivative, of the freeze response to trauma?
