There is a positive that lays in the negative of the traumatic experience. When we are triggered and re-experience the trauma; we are given the change to let light into that room and see the experience emotionally and spiritually. As we embrace our trauma, it becomes our medicine---a positive force. 'Making light of the dark' is the binding force that can help empower you. When we understand that, the violence no longer owns us. the traumatic experience is revealed and knowing this you are at peace---the trauma is no longer a threat to your present consciousness.
