Trauma Transformed Quotes

“Being in an environment that feels safe enough for expressions of anger, confusion, fear, and sadness to be released is one of the most crucial aspects in the process of trauma transformation.”
― Marian Bussey, Trauma Transformed: An Empowerment Response

“They [survivors of trauma] possess a special sort of wisdom, aware of the greatest threats and deepest gifts of human existence. Life is simultaneously terrifying and wonderful. Their traumatic experience was undeniably agonizing, and yet, having successfully struggled to rebuild their inner world, survivors emerge profoundly and gratefully aware of the extraordinary value of life in the face of the ever-present possibility of loss.”
