Hard To Believe

Ouch My Trauma Hurts (OMTH)


Messages from my heart to yours…

Suggestions and hopes from a trauma expert- for you!

It’s hard to believe we could behave in a manner that surprises us (like strike out in panic). That can happen when we are in the grip of trauma and terror. We can also react to a loved one being threatened, like in family violence, like our own child or pet.

Pets can be used as a weapon in family violence, perhaps a threat to harm the dog, cat, or other animal in order to keep a person from leaving the violent situation. It is important to recognize the violence and trauma- to get help, so that someone does not get hurt or worse.

I hope you get help, please- so you do not behave in a way that later surprises even you!
