    That’s basically what therapy is. The lack of vitamin is the damage you received in your childhood that you just thought was normal.

    Then you actually recount the experience to a therapist and they tell you how not normal that is and help you to recognize the fact that you had to go through that without support and that the way you are is because you had to cope to support yourself to survive when no one else was there for you.

    Once you know it then you can tell all your friends and get them to awe at your seemingly inhuman perseverance.

      Living through trauma isn’t really a super power. And I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on anyone. In fact, I don’t usually share what happened to me with anyone but my therapist and my wife.
