#Emilyism: Unpacking Trauma

Trauma.

It’s this big scary word that has a lot of personal meaning for all of us.

Trauma is wounds or neglect or loss or powerlessness.

And when it happens to us, we carry it with us.

Like Emily said in our podcast episode yesterday, we carry trauma around with us like a backpack.

And we can either do something with it to heal or it’ll just keep coming up in our lives again and again.

Emily had a lot of great quotes in yesterday’s episode where she spoke with Nicole, a sexual assault survivor who was really candid with us about her healing journey. Check out minutes 4, 16, or 19 for some other great #Emilyisms.

How have you been unpacking your trauma?
