Key Quote:
“It’s okay to not have to hide all the time. That would be the goal I want for people experiencing trauma; to not have to hide the pain. To be able to step forward and say, ‘This is real and this hurt me and I need help.’ -Andrew Gilley

“By showing up for myself consistently, I can now manage my fear of abandonment because I know that I’ll never let myself go or abandon me.” – Tuê-Si Nguyen

“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
