Trauma changes people, and while you can often become well again after a trauma, you will never be quite the same as you were previously. Trauma leaves scars. Sometimes you have to figure out a way to improve the quality of your life as it is NOW regardless of the past.

the point is not to be the same as before. That's probably something SOME people chase... in vain.

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Holocaust survivors went on, not to be the same as before... but many did great things regardless. Maybe the horrible things made them... greater people, who knows.
