Quotes from Mark Epstein, M.D.

Trauma is an indivisible part of human existence. it takes many forms but spares no one.

But trauma is all pervasive. It does not go away. It continues to reassert itself as life unfolds.

Trauma, if it doesn't destroy us, wakes us up both to our own relational capacities and to the suffering of others. Not only does it makes us hurt, it makes us more human, caring, and wise.
