Libby, great article. Trauma is the gateway to understanding how to transcend the darkness within our bodies and minds. There is so much pain in the world, as it always has been.

What little I know is the trauma I experienced helped me find the living light around us and have radical compassion for the abusers who suffer the most. They are simply unleashing their darkness unconsciously, which is how I've concluded, "If they knew better, they'd do better."

It took me a lifetime to figure this out, so I love to write about the art of human transformation.

Keep up the great work.
