Surviving Humanity

“We acknowledge success, but recovery from trauma isn’t a priority. The priority is to get back to work. You’re socially obligated to do a lot of things, but healing isn’t one of them, at least, unless you actually can’t work anymore.” – Andrew Gilley

“Trauma is invisible unfortunately a lot of the time as well, because it’s like these invisible scars that are imprinted on your psyche and your body, and they completely alter the way that you perceive and then thus navigate the world around you.” – Wesley Jackson

“The most profound lessons I’ve learned from my personal journey of trauma and survival are encapsulated in three key concepts: resilience, self-understanding, and acceptance.” – Wesley Jackson

“Opening the toolbox and having the capability to recognize when you can acquire new tools is really important. So, keeping an open mind is very helpful.” – Andrew Gilley
