Ouch My Trauma Hurts (OMTH)

Some flowers smell wonderful! So can trees, pets, and people! These smells make us smile and have fun memories. But there may be some other smells that invite back bad memories, sometimes abuse- we cope with our feelings that also return.

Therapy, deep breathing, exercising, yoga, and talking with a friend- many ways of reacting can help us. Wishing you the best smells and coping skills that bring happiness and peace.

Holidays, family reunions, foods and drinks can all bring back traumatic memories, even flashbacks like it is happening all over again. Many of us, including me, send you a heartfelt hug with wishes that you can hug yourself as well on this 4th of July!!
