How he refused rooftops, how he always found a reason to avoid balconies, how his feet seemed welded to the earth whenever we stood too close to anything remotely high. But I knew why. The plane crash. The one that shattered his world, stole his mother, and left him strapped in a twisted cage of metal and flames. He survived. His body did, anyway. But pieces of him were still trapped in that sky, suspended in terror, unreachable. It wasn’t just fear. It was trauma. And I—I’d just sprinted up a flight of stairs like it was a joke. Like his pain was part of the game. God, what was I doing?

“But it was him. My father. In the basement.” Zion goes completely still for a second. Something passes through his black eyes — not anger, but deep pain. “Trauma takes what you love most,” Luka explains, his voice low and precise, “and contaminates it with what you fear most. It’s a common mechanism in complex PTSD. The brain can’t keep the categories separate when it’s overwhelmed.” “I know what it is,” I murmur. “But knowing doesn’t help when you’re living it.” “No,” Luka agrees. “It doesn’t help.”

Chapter 147 Ellie If there is one thing that I know about trauma is that; too much trauma can sneak up on you at the worst of times.

Nick held it in as long as he could, but tears still welled in his eyes. He gave a low, hoarse "Mm." Dr. Yale sat off to the side, watching the two of them. He leaned back slightly, his body relaxing at last. When Loretta had first spoken to him about Nick, he'd been worried. Emotional trauma isn't hard to treat—but like all wounds, trauma is still trauma. It never appears out of nowhere, and it never truly disappears.

"After everything he's done? Everything I've endured? Will I even be the same person James fell in love with?" "Maybe not the same. But still you. Still the woman who laughed about getting hit with a golf ball. Still the woman who married the man who brought her ice cream for nine days straight." Atlas held her gaze. "Trauma changes us. But it doesn't erase us. Not if we don't let it." Novalee stared at him. "When did you get so wise?" "Ten years of watching people break. You learn things." He paused. "You learn that the ones who survive are the ones who remember why they're fighting."

"Dear Ace, I gave this note to you because I can't bear to see Mom reading something this terrible. It is quite infuriating, but I need you to please act cool after reading this. It is known that I regularly have trauma. Everyone at home knows about it. Obviously. Writing this note, I feel so devastated and horrible right now. The fact that you all know that I always have a trauma, no one ever asked for the reason for it. No one ever confronted me about it, and it always saddens me so much. But in this note, I'll be stating my reason.

I saw the depraved act with my own eyes, and that shit will be burned into my memory for as long as Antonellia draws breath. “How can that be? I didn’t fight him off. I couldn’t get away. I couldn’t stop him from hurting me. How is that strong?” she all but shouts at me, frustration or anger seemingly overtaking her embarrassment. It’s a step in the right direction, a step closer to acceptance and moving past this shitty chapter. I sound cold and hard, I know. I’ve seen some fucked up things, and been through some shit that should have broken me, but I have learned that dealing with trauma is not all that different than dealing with grief. The end goal is acceptance.

want to end, A nun pushing a seven year old to floor, slapping her, I began shaking my head, “No… no, The nun!” I cried out, my eyes closed tight, Damian tried to hold me, “Calm down, what's going on?” He said, sounding worried, and scared. “Please tell her to leave me,” I said while still hitting Damian, “It's okay Elena it's me, Damian,” He said and I slowed a bit, I was panting, it was strange. “Are you okay? What's going on?” He asked, staring at me for answers, “I don't know, I'm sorry for the way I behaved. Honestly I don't know what just happened, maybe my imagination,” I said while I bent my face down in shame, “Seems you've been through something traumatic, now you have PTSD from i

For the first time, she had acted like a grown-up and spoken her mind. It was true that they'd all abandoned her. Granted they were all grieving for Zander but still, she was the one who'd woken up alone in a hospital room. Not only with two holes in her body but also ridden with guilt. Now that Emilia thought about it, the past two years must have been hard for her. The trauma of being shot must have taken a toll on her. She'd read about how victims of traumatic incidents needed assistance, both professional and personal, to overcome their fear and anxiety. She could take some of the blame because she hadn't given Gwen any thought. It wasn't just Genevieve who was selfish, they all were.

The phrase rattled around in my head. That's what this was. Trauma. Not just hurt feelings or a relationship rough patch. Actual, clinical trauma that would require professional help to heal from. And Jeremy had his own trauma to deal with—the guilt, the self-destructive behavior, the need to punish himself by pushing his body past its limits. We were both broken. Both damaged by what had happened. But maybe broken things could be repaired. Maybe with the right tools, the right support, the right commitment, we could build something new from the pieces.
