Powerful Quotes by Cynthia

The more trauma you have the more triggers you have.
Eat the meat and spit out the bones.
Reach out and ask for help.
The same resources for an adult are not necessarily the same resources that will help the teenager work through their trauma.
Let God do the work of the healing. You just show up and trust that your child is going to be okay.
The resources are there...we are just not aware because we are living in our trauma and not living in our freedom.
