Trauma Counseling in Richmond
Today, on the 19th anniversary of 9/11, 12 invite you to examine how the collective trauma of the 2001 attacks affects your life.
❤️Do you still struggle to make sense of the September 11th attacks and their aftermath?
💙Do you fear the possibility of future terrorist attacks?
❤️Do you mourn the effects of the attacks on our politics and culture?
💙Do you miss the way things were "before" or, if you were young at the time of the attacks, do you wish that you remembered a time before 9/11?
We would venture to say that there isn't an American alive in 2001 who hasn't grappled with these questions and fears at some point following the attacks.
While victims, first responders, and their families are, of course, at the forefront of our minds on the anniversary of 9/11, there is no shame in grieving for what you, your family, and your generation have lost as a whole.
Trauma does not come with a measuring stick. Even if you don't know anyone who was personally harmed in the attacks, you can still acknowledge and accept the role this tragedy has played in your life.
