Dealing with Trauma
Maggie Stevens*, a high school teacher in Rushland Pennsylvania, was distraught after reading the news about the choking incident at the middle school in Michigan. It triggered painful memories from her own traumatic past. When Maggie was a student herself years ago, she had been the victim of bullying by a teacher who would verbally abuse her and make physical threats. The news story reminded her of the fear and helplessness she felt back then. Determined not to let those old wounds continue to affect her, Maggie decided to seek help. She discovered the Stepping Into Action program and started following its guidance. One of the first steps was to write down her feelings in a journal, which helped provide a release. 'I can't change what happened to me, but I can change how I let it control my life going forward,' Maggie said firmly to herself one day. Some experts praised Maggie's approach, stating that journaling and following a structured program were excellent ways to overcome trauma. However, others argued that personal therapy sessions were essential for processing such difficult experiences. Ultimately, Maggie felt the online program gave her the tools she needed to confront her past in a healthy way. It was challenging to find quality local resources in her small town, so having access to professional guidance online was invaluable. No matter how painful one's history, Maggie's story shows that taking proactive steps towards healing can empower people to reclaim their lives and move forward with strength.
