Heal Yourself, seek help if needed. You are NOT ALONE. Understanding and Coping with Vicarious Trauma

 
“Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.”  David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 

• You still care? 

• You are not insensitive nor are others. 

 Trauma in any form compounds itself and our ability to cope and recover is compounded.  It takes time and many are coping with the initial shock and healing, many heal faster than others.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.  We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.  In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.  Procrastination is still the thief of time.  Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity.  This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos or community.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘Where Are We Going From Here:  Chaos or Community’.
