Quotes by Gretchen Schmelzer  (?)

“There is no simple answer to this except to say that at all times, both can be true. You can feel awful: anxious, sad, devastated, detached—whatever gets stirred up by your trauma history. But these feelings are old feelings-like a soundtrack to a movie that has already happened. Sometimes these feelings drown out the current soundtrack. It is hard to hear the present over the past. But you have to remember that the current soundtrack-your current life—s real. Your old feelings are real, because you have them, but they aren't about the present, and if you can let both soundtracks run at the same time, gradually the old soundtrack will fade.”
Gretchen Schmelzer, Journey Through Trauma: A Trail Guide to the 5-Phase Cycle of Healing Repeated Trauma

“Bessel van der Kolk, «En la medida en que guardes secretos y reprimas información, estarás fundamentalmente en guerra contigo mismo. […] El punto crítico estriba en que te permitas saber lo que sabes. Para eso hace falta mucho coraje».”
Gretchen Schmelzer, El viaje a través del trauma

“When do you need to call your therapist? Email or write your therapist? Text your therapist? When would journaling work and when wouldn't it? Who is on your social support team? Sometimes it is helpful to let the people on your team know why you would need support and what would be most helpful from them, and ask them if you can reach out to them, the way that AA sponsors can be supportive when an alcoholic is feeling an urge to drink. And sometimes it can be simply supportive to be around people and not have to talk—to just be part of the everyday conversations of relationship and not have it be about the trauma at all.”
Gretchen Schmelzer, Journey Through Trauma: A Trail Guide to the 5-Phase Cycle of Healing Repeated Trauma

“All great stories began as shitty first drafts.
There are no exceptions to this.”
