“Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin.” ― Danielle Bernock “It hasn’t affected me.” “Why would you want to bring that up again?” “Leave the past in the past.” “Surely it wasn’t that bad.” “Build a bridge and Get over it.” “Are you sure you are remembering correctly?.”
