“Trauma is not the bad things that happen to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.” ~Dr.
Gabor Maté I used to have this pervasive empty feeling inside. I tried filling it by eating, working, being a wife, making my life look great on socials—anything really to make it go away.
I went to church, worked hard, and tried to be a good person, hoping the hole would fill and my life would feel whole and complete.
I went to therapy for the first time when I was sixteen years old. I remember telling my therapist about this black hole in the middle of my chest.
