Trauma is an inevitable aspect of life. You or anyone you care about has almost certainly been through trauma, whether it was "big-T" trauma like mental, physical, or sexual assault, or "little-t" trauma like divorce, loss of employment, terrible childhood events, or any scenario where you seemed worthless, frightened, or helpless. But we can recover. It doesn't have to be a lifelong process. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that has been shown to help individuals recover from trauma and enhance their quality of life.

OCD is a very real, common disorder that knows variations in severity and randomness. Some people are obsessed with cleaning, while others can’t stop double-checking locks, organizational spaces, or items.

Everything you desire or see in other people's lives can be yours with the power of affirmations. Oprah said it best: "You can have it all. Just not all at once."

I've been through decades of being subjected to my mother’s narcissism, and it was only when I hit my lowest point that my survival instinct kicked in: I either cut ties with my mother or I developed ways to deal with her hurtful, damaging behavior.
