Life can be contradictory as it’s where we find our passion, meaning, and joy, yet through living we also experience our greatest sorrows. Early in my life, I was touched by trauma that is still felt to this day. Unfortunately, this is not unique as we all experience negative events that echo through our lives. Family bonds, friendships, relationships, and most importantly feelings towards oneself are often tested. Dealing with these feelings on our own may give us a sense of strength, however, true strength is facing and overcoming the feelings that are causing pain, anger, hurt, etc.
