I wish people would stop saying to just "put it behind you" when someone is traumatized. That isn't possible. We sure as hell wish it were, but it isn't. Trauma changes everything. It wreaks havoc on our brain and bodies, on our self and lives. We can't just decide one day to simply put that behind us. We can't just shelf the nightmares, flashbacks, other forms of memory intrusion, intrusive thoughts, or the many kinds of instinct based & trained reactions we have. We can't just wish away all the emotions and thoughts and how our life has changed. It takes tons of effort to work through trauma. Months, years, a lifetime. We aren't being this way on purpose, and we sure as hell would change it all with one decision if we could. Deciding to go forward with life is important for recovery, but that isn't the same as "putting it behind you."
