1. Let's talk about adult survivors of #childhoodtrauma & #COVIDー19 . There are a few survivors who understandably are triggered by chaos, but I bet, if you ask most adult survivors of adverse childhood experiences, they're doing just fine during the #CoronavirusPandemic . Why?
2. Preparing for the worst is our norm. If we come from poverty, we always keep extra food & supplies in our homes & if we come from chaos, we always keep a to-go bag packed & ready. What everyone is doing now, is what we do normally. So, this chaos is calming to us. #COVIDー19
3. Adult survivors of childhood abuse have always known the status quo isn't reality & life will change. It's not always a healthy way to live, but now that this has come, we smile, & we breathe deeply. Because we know we are in control, prepared, and ready.

4. Let this be a huge lesson to others, the panic you feel now, the constant need to shop, the constant need to feel like toilet paper will give you one moment of calmness in a world of chaos - survivors of childhood trauma live this way every day. This is our normal life.
5. On the upside, now it's the survivors who are chill & ready. We've survived worse & we know we're ready to survive this. 💪
