“Trauma is not healed; it’s transformed and integrated. Recovery is a lifelong process. And we can recover with or without forgiveness.”
― You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms

“Revenge fantasies can be beneficial in trauma recovery. They bring significant catharsis and reestablish a sense of empowerment after one has been made to feel powerless.”
― You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms
― You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms
“Forgiveness is not a method to bypass or avoid the long and at times brutal trauma recovery process.”

“Trauma is a thief. It steals our childhoods, years of our adult lives, or even our entire lifetimes. It takes away our ability to feel connected to others, to feel like we belong in the world, and to receive and extend love. It prevents us from growing and thriving. It steals our relationships, work, physical health, families, communities, spirituality, hobbies, passions, and identity. And to add insult to injury, trauma then demands that we grieve these losses in order to heal from them, which can feel overwhelming.”
― You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms
― You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms
“Comparing your traumatic experience with another’s doesn’t make sense; if trauma were a competition, every survivor would be a winner.”

“Forgiveness should be considered an elective option – not a requirement – in trauma recovery.”
