What I failed to realize at the time is that when we try to resist feeling something painful, we often protract the very pain we're trying to avoid. Doing so is a prescription for continued suffering. ~ Mark Wolynn
Suffering Trauma quotes by Mark Wolynn
What I've discovered is that by keeping peace with those who hurt me, I had no peace. Rather, I was in turmoil. I suffered the aftermath of sexual violence. I am the one who has battled for my life. ~ Dana Arcuri
Suffering Trauma quotes by Dana Arcuri
I cannot help but come to believe, there should be a disclaimer for the soul upon entering this life stating: This will destroy you but it is not the end. Every immortal thing must die once to learn that it is immortal. One life ends but another begins. ~ L.M. Browning
Suffering Trauma quotes by L.M. Browning
Trauma never goes away completely, it changes perhaps, softens some with time, but never completely goes away. ~ Mark Epstein
Suffering Trauma quotes by Mark Epstein
I know you're in a world of pain, but that pain will lessen. At the beginning you can't see that. You can only see your pain and you think it will never go away.
But the nature of pain is that it changes - it changes like a sunset. At first, it's this intense red-orange in the sky, and then it starts getting softer and soften. The texture of pain changes as you work through it. And then one day, you wake up and realize that life isn't just about working through your incest; it's about living, too.
- survivor of child sexual abuse ~ Ellen Bass
Suffering Trauma quotes by Ellen Bass
Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. ~ Anna Funder
Suffering Trauma quotes by Anna Funder
It's a curse to have traumas imprinted in our wiring, to accept that what we fear and grieve and impale ourselves upon from day to day defines the way we translate the chemistry of emotions into a fixed identity wired for suffering.

It's also a marvelous asset, our malleability. When the imprinting experience is loving, exciting, rich and worthy of our more expansive nature, we align pleasurably with harmony and bliss.

But let's face it, we're humans.

Disasters entertain our brains far more than comforts, ease and joy ever will.

No one straps into the ride for the smoothness of it all going well. ~ Laurie Perez
Suffering Trauma quotes by Laurie Perez
Anyone who shames survivors of trauma and abuse for not healing, is a person who has no compassion for life's suffering ~ Alice Little
Suffering Trauma quotes by Alice  Little
All suffering goes just as it came. So it is with the glories and tragedies of the world. ~ Paulo Coelho
Suffering Trauma quotes by Paulo Coelho
Homelessness is a part of our American system. There should be nothing wrong with this condition as long as the individual is not sentenced to unnecessary suffering and punishment. ~ Jerzy Kosinski
Suffering Trauma quotes by Jerzy Kosinski
There is life after abuse. This is mine. ~ Lindsay Fischer
Suffering Trauma quotes by Lindsay Fischer
It is better to suffer once than to be in perpetual apprehension. ~ Julius Caesar
Suffering Trauma quotes by Julius Caesar
My pain has always deserved a voice and I will not deny it that, but I won't devote my life to it either. ~ Trista Mateer
Suffering Trauma quotes by Trista Mateer
When love turns away, now, I don't follow it. I sit and suffer, unprotesting, until I feel the tread of another step. ~ Sylvia Ashton-Warner
Suffering Trauma quotes by Sylvia Ashton-Warner
He was a phoenix of blood, rising from the ashes of those who had fallen and suffered before him. ~ Nenia Campbell
Suffering Trauma quotes by Nenia Campbell
Most successes are unhappy. That's why they are successes - they have to reassure themselves about themselves by achieving something that the world will notice. ~ Agatha Christie
Suffering Trauma quotes by Agatha Christie
Barnet was a man with a rich capacity for misery, and there is no doubt that he exercised it to its fullest extent now. The events that had, as it were, dashed themselves together into one half-hour of this day showed that curious refinement of cruelty in their arrangement which often proceeds from the bosom of the whimsical god at other times known as blind Circumstance. That his few minutes of hope, between the reading of the first and second letters, had carried him to extraordinary heights of rapture was proved by the immensity of his suffering now. The sun blazing into his face would have shown a close watcher that a horizontal line, which had never been seen before, but which was never to be gone thereafter, was somehow gradually forming itself in the smooth of his forehead. His eyes, of a light hazel, had a curious look which can only be described by the word bruised; the sorrow that looked from them being largely mixed with the surprise of a man taken unawares. ~ Thomas Hardy
Suffering Trauma quotes by Thomas Hardy
So don't be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me His prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God. ~ Anonymous
Suffering Trauma quotes by Anonymous
He could not believe that ordinary people in the Culture really wanted the war, no matter how they had voted. They had their communist Utopia. They were soft and pampered and indulged, and the Contact section's evangelical materialism provided their conscience-salving good works. What more could they want? The war had to be the Mind's idea; it was part of their clinical drive to clean up the galaxy, make it run on nice, efficient lines, without waste, injustice or suffering. The fools in the Culture couldn't see that one day the Minds would start thinking how wasteful and inefficient the humans in the Culture themselves were. ~ Iain Banks
Suffering Trauma quotes by Iain Banks
And then I was crying too, crying with Danny, silently, for his pain and for the years of his suffering, knowing that I loved him, and not knowing whether I hated or loved the long, anguished years of his life. ~ Chaim Potok
Suffering Trauma quotes by Chaim Potok
A student, filled with emotion and crying, implored, "Why is there so much suffering?"
Suzuki Roshi replied, "No reason. ~ Shunryu Suzuki
Suffering Trauma quotes by Shunryu Suzuki
Truth suffers no loss if a vehement youth fails in finding it, in the same way that virtue and religion suffer no detriment if a criminal denies them. ~ Friedrich Schiller
Suffering Trauma quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Gautama found that there was a way to exit this vicious circle. If, when the mind experiences something pleasant or unpleasant, it simply understand things as they are, then there is no suffering. If you experience sadness but you do not suffer from it. There can actually be richness in the sadness. If you experience joy without craving that the joy linger and intensify, you continue to feel joy without losing your peace of mind. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Suffering Trauma quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
It is not my experience that we are here to fix the world, that we are here to change anything at all. I think we are here so the world can change us. And if part of that change is that the suffering of the world moves us compassion, to awareness, to sympathy, to love, that is a very good thing. ~ Cheri Huber
Suffering Trauma quotes by Cheri Huber
I'm great at a deathbed. I've never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I've given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering. ~ Patch Adams
Suffering Trauma quotes by Patch Adams
No matter what anybody thinks about any of them, every record I've done has been done with the same amount of care, anguish, pain, suffering, and joy. ~ Patti Smith
Suffering Trauma quotes by Patti Smith
I didn't pretend I was ever going to live under a bridge. I didn't pretend bad shit didn't exist. I didn't pretend I didn't live in some wider world. I got it. I had a television. I had the internet. But what was I supposed to do? Devote my life to serving the poor? Take away all the suffering in the world? ~ C.D. Reiss
Suffering Trauma quotes by C.D. Reiss
Every act has both good and evil results. Every act in life yields pairs of opposites in its results. The best we can do is lean toward the light, toward the harmonious relationships that come from compassion with suffering, from understanding the other person. ~ Joseph Campbell
Suffering Trauma quotes by Joseph Campbell
Suffering is universal; how we react to suffering is individual. Suffering can ... be a strengthening and purifying experience combined with faith, or it can be a destructive force in our lives if we do not have the faith in the Lord's atoning sacrifice. The purpose of suffering ... is to build and strengthen us. We learn ... obedience by the things we suffer. We should be humbled and drawn to the Lord. ~ Robert D. Hales
Suffering Trauma quotes by Robert D. Hales
Twas such a useless thing. And so unnecessary. Many had suffered for the actions of a few. Wasn't that always the way of things? The collective suffered for the actions of an inept, ineffectual leader. ~ Maya Banks
Suffering Trauma quotes by Maya Banks
One who is new to fasting can begin by skipping a meal during the day. From there a person can move onto juice fasting and eventually spring water fasting. People suffering ~ Joshua Eagle
Suffering Trauma quotes by Joshua Eagle
The first principle of Buddhism is 'Suffering exists. How do I escape it?' Buddhism ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Suffering Trauma quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
There's this human capacity for joy and endurance, even when things are at their worst. A joy that occurs not despite our suffering, but within it. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Suffering Trauma quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are this, yet allow themselves to be treated as that. ~ Ruth Gordon
Suffering Trauma quotes by Ruth Gordon
I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan, as proposed by this bill, to indulge a benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds for that purpose. I can find no warrant for that kind of appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government, the Government should not support the people. The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow-citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood. ~ Grover Cleveland
Suffering Trauma quotes by Grover Cleveland
Like the Good Samaritan, may we not be ashamed of touching the wounds of those who suffer, but try to heal them with concrete acts of love. ~ Pope Francis
Suffering Trauma quotes by Pope Francis
You have been walking the ocean's edge,
holding up your robes to keep them dry.
You must dive naked under and deeper under,
a thousand times deeper. Love flows down.
The ground submits to the sky and suffers what comes.
Tell me, is the earth worse for giving in like that?
Do not put blankets over the drum.
Open completely. ~ Rumi
Suffering Trauma quotes by Rumi
The same suffering is much harder to bear for a high motive than for a base one. The people [during World War II] who stood motionless, from one to eight in the morning, for the sake of having an egg, would have found it very difficult to do in order to save a human life. ~ Simone Weil
Suffering Trauma quotes by Simone Weil
Forgive us for relying on our own wisdom and strength; for the hours we spend trying to rescue ourselves from pain, suffering, and sin, when you have already rescued us in your Son. ~ Barbara R. Duguid
Suffering Trauma quotes by Barbara R. Duguid
Our whole educational problem suffers from a one-sided approach to the child who is to be educated, and from an equally one-sided lack of emphasis on the uneducatedness of the educator. ~ Carl Jung
Suffering Trauma quotes by Carl Jung
I am, you are, a cell in a bigger living organism. We have been taught to forget this. But our bodies are remembering.
We are not the only ones who are suffering. We are not the only ones who are sick.
But we are the ones with the power to make a change.
The time has come to take back our power to heal from this sickness.
This is the time to heal. It is time to purge the toxic masculine from our bodies and beings. And to choose life. ~ Lucy H. Pearce
Suffering Trauma quotes by Lucy H. Pearce
Since her time in the necromancer's clutches, she was still recovering lost memories from the quicksand of her mind. They'd drop like nuclear bombs, freezing her at the worst time as visuals which should've stayed forever buried bubbled to the surface. ~ Katherine McIntyre
Suffering Trauma quotes by Katherine McIntyre
Not only did he [Dean Acheson] not suffer fools gladly, he did not suffer them at all. ~ Lester B. Pearson
Suffering Trauma quotes by Lester B. Pearson
All the happiness there is in this world Arises from wishing others to be happy. And all the suffering there is in this world Arises from wishing oneself to be happy. ~ Shantideva
Suffering Trauma quotes by Shantideva
When children are hurt and in pain psychologically, they don't want to be in distress, so when the situation becomes intolerable, they cease to identify with themselves. When they feel the most threatened, they will choose to identify with the person who is the source of their suffering in an attempt to possess that person's strength. ~ Robert Firestone
Suffering Trauma quotes by Robert Firestone
I agree we have enough books that attempt to explain why God allows suffering, presumably in a way that lets God off the hook. And while much smarter men than I have constructed elaborate systems in this pursuit, they are by definition exercises in speculation. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Suffering Trauma quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The essence of that by which Jesus overcame the world was not suffering, but obedience. Yes, men may puzzle themselves and their hearers over the question where the power of the life of Jesus and the death of Jesus lay; but the soul of the Christian always knows that it lay in the obedience of Christ. He was determined at every sacrifice to do His Father's will. Let us remember that; and the power of Christ's sacrifice may enter into us, and some little share of the redemption of the world may come through us, as the great work came through Him. ~ Phillips Brooks
Suffering Trauma quotes by Phillips Brooks
How can it be repeated and what for? I love and can love only that earth which I have left, stained with my blood, when, in my ingratitude, I quenched my life with a bullet in my heart. But I have never, never ceased to love that earth, and perhaps on the very night I parted from it I loved it more than ever. Is there suffering upon this new earth? On our earth we can only love with suffering and through suffering. We cannot love otherwise, and we know of no other sort of love. I want suffering in order to love. I long, I thirst, this very instant, to kiss with tears the earth that I have left, and I don't want, I won't accept life on any other! ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Suffering Trauma quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full. ~ Marcel Proust
Suffering Trauma quotes by Marcel Proust
We often suffer more from our fears, than from the dangers of our situation. ~ Norm MacDonald
