Therapy isn’t just about revisiting trauma. It’s about *how* you revisit it (and when).
As lavernecox put it in a 2022 interview with ps.feelgood:
"You don’t want to flood yourself revisiting trauma…you have to go slowly. My therapist defines trauma as too much too fast, or too little for too long."
Trauma-informed care means healing at a pace that’s safe, supportive, and guided—not rushed. And, yes, joy *can* also be part of the process. 💜
