PART 1: Why Trauma to Truth? In 2018, I started my journey with understanding my "truths" as it related to my "trauma." As I sought to identify my truths, I didn't realize that I had to start at the very beginning to learn and understand how "my truths" were formed. As I learned more about the trauma of my sexual assault, I had to recall everything that happened from the first time I talked about the rape and sexual assault and everything that came afterwards. Today, instead of "recalling", I have learned to "reclaim" my life that 34 years that the "trauma" took away. As I continue my journey, I want to advocate for the women whose voice was silenced because of their inability to express their thoughts and feelings as it relates to their trauma(s).
