Trauma can have devastating consequences in our lives and often times we may feel completely powerless over it and at a loss of words to explain our pain and difficulties. It may seem impossible that someone could understand our inner world and we may feel alienated from the world of “normal, healthy people”. We may have spent our life struggling to survive and despite some of our successes, we may always feel that we are on the verge of a disaster and that we are never really safe…Our inner world can be sent into chaos in what seems like insignificant situations and we don’t understand why. We may find ourselves repeatedly in unsatisfying relationships and we can’t figure out how to do something different about it.
