Dear friend, I hear the pain and fear in your words, and I want you to know that you are not alone in this struggle. What you’re experiencing is a natural response to an unnatural event – your mind and body are trying to process something deeply unsettling. Please be gentle with yourself during this time. Healing is not linear, and it’s okay to have difficult days. With time, patience, and the right support, those flashbacks and nightmares can become less frequent and less intense. Consider reaching out to a trauma-informed therapist who can guide you through evidence-based techniques like EMDR or cognitive processing therapy. In the meantime, grounding exercises, mindfulness, and self-care can be powerful tools. Remember, you are so much more than your trauma. There is hope for a brighter future, and step by step, you will find your way there. I believe in your strength and resilience.
