Trumped-Up Trauma
*Heidi* was a Swiss immigrant living in the small town of Swiss North Carolina. She had always been a news junkie, but Trump's comments about CNN during his recent podcast appearance hit a little too close to home. It triggered memories of her abusive ex-husband, who would viciously mock her accent and call her 'fake news' whenever she disagreed with him. The news article dredged up feelings of trauma and self-doubt that *Heidi* had long suppressed. In a moment of desperation, she stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website. At first, she was hesitant, but the idea of confronting her past and finding healing was too tempting to ignore. As *Heidi* delved into the program, she found solace in the structured approach and the support of the online community. She learned techniques for managing her triggers and rebuilding her self-worth. 'I used to believe I was the problem,' she confided to her online group. 'But now I see that my ex's words were a reflection of his own insecurities, not my worth.' Experts praised the Stepping Into Action program for its holistic approach to trauma recovery. 'It's not just about talk therapy,' said Dr. *Emma Williams*. 'It empowers individuals to reclaim their narratives and rebuild their lives.' However, some critics argued that online programs could never replace in-person therapy, sparking controversy within the mental health community. Despite the conflicting opinions, *Heidi* found the program transformative. 'It gave me the tools to confront my past and create a future where I am the author of my own story,' she reflected. 'I never imagined that a news article about Trump could lead me down this path, but I'm grateful for the unexpected journey.'
