Mental health advice to help cope with trauma. Content Warning.
Mental illness can be very tough, especially trauma. When dealing with trauma we simply don't acknowledge that we are survivors to some of the most horrific things in life. We, as humans, can adapt to anything. We are built in such a way that we can develope the coping skills necessary to function through daily life and the problems we face.

Reflections Into the Void
Psyche Intro There are moments when consciousness folds back on itself and shows us the architecture beneath everything the void, the breath, the first light, the arrival. This piece came from that place. It’s not a story or a memory, but a reflection of the inner cosmos we all carry, the radiance that rises from nothingness and recognizes itself.
