That's great. It does not mean your experience is universal or that people should be shamed for being traumatized and not being able to "overcome" it.

Who said anyone was shamed? I’m saying the human body and mind is capable of more than we give it credit for. Going through this procedure doesn’t have to be the only option, others deserve to know it’s possible to do inner work and they can make their own choice if it’s for them to start or not. Any choice they make is acceptable. I’ve already acknowledged it’s not a simple easy thing to do, but it’s possible.
