“Yes, in winter there must be / some healing,”

It’s okay if your trauma made you a “weaker” or more sensitive person. This idea that “trauma makes you strong” doesn’t apply to all trauma survivors - in fact I’d argue it doesn’t apply to most.

Traumatic experiences are negative. It’s okay if you came out worse off. That’s what trauma does.
