About PDF

1. Bad things can hurt you, even inside: When you go through something scary or upsetting, it doesn’t just fade away. It can leave “scores” or marks on your body and mind, even if you don’t realize it.
2. Your body remembers: Sometimes when something bad happens, our brains “freeze” to protect us. This can affect how we feel and act later, even years down the line.
3. Healing is possible: Just like a broken arm can heal, the hurt in your body and mind can heal too. There are special ways to help it feel better, like talking to someone you trust, moving your body in fun ways, or doing things that make you feel calm and safe.
4. Kindness matters: When someone is hurting, the kindest thing you can do is listen without judgment and offer support. Be a friend, not a fixer.
5. Hope is alive: No matter how bad things have been, there is always hope for healing and happiness. You are not alone, and some people care and want to help you feel better.
