"It's OK if you thought you were over it, and it hits you all over again. It's OK if you fall apart, even though you had it under control. There's no timeline for healing. Healing is messy. It can haunt you for years."
This is the truth when it comes to healing from trauma. Deep wounds can take decades to heal. You will make progress, you do make progress, but the pain and the shock can still catch up with you.
When that happens, be gentle with yourself. The trigger's a reminder of what you have been through. And what you have been through has left it's mark on you.
