This is to say, though, I'm not saying trauma is a good thing.

Too much trauma is not good, and that can lead to PTSD and all sorts of things.

That being said, as much as being able to control your brain and yourself can be really important and empowering, it's also just as important to be able to let go sometimes and stop thinking and just be.

And just have acceptance and be present and let go of control.
