Trauma survivor? Even on your worst day, you’re a superhero

Do you think too little of yourself?

If you’ve been through significant trauma—whether in childhood or as an adult—it’s pretty obvious why you might come out of those experiences with low self-esteem, low self-worth, and thinking in a small way about yourself.

The truth is, you survived. Even if your self-concept feels battered or broken, you’re still here, and that’s your superpower.

So I invite you to write down three things you like about yourself. Even if it feels small, seeing it on a page helps. Bring those parts of yourself to the inner child who felt unworthy and remind them: you were never the problem.

Healing takes time, but it’s possible.
