Trauma Has No Timeline
Experiencing a traumatic event impacts the way we see the world around us and interact with others. Trauma has no timeline in the way that impacts our life. Whether abuse happened yesterday, or 20 years ago, unpredictable reminders can knock the wind out of us when we least expect it. With the help of caring staff at Care Lodge, we can learn how to identify what triggers those old raw emotions, we can smooth the path ahead!
