​Heal Play Love University- Does the WHY Really Matter When Healing From Abuse and Childhood Trauma?
​​
Why was I abused? Why did this trauma happen? Many people wonder why the perpetrator abused them. Is this helpful for your healing?
 
Let's look at the psychology of healing from trauma and abuse. Do you believe that knowing WHY is healing. Do you think it leads to 1000 other unanswerable questions, self-blame, what-if, etc?
Do you think trying to know the why distracts from survivor healing? How to heal from abuse. Is knowing why helpful?
