Post traumatic growth

Sometimes it looks like life is a slope below. I mean, something like that. We are born 'whole' and follow our ball. Hence there is a number of bad things - which, in a high intensity, are trauma. And let's be straightforward: no one goes through life without it. Hence two things can happen. The first is that we put it in our emotional baggage and live a little worse because of it. We generalize this learning to other contexts, and our universe is a little scarier, a little sadder.

May 18: National Day to Combat Abuse and Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents

The Pandemia of COVID-19 and all its family, social and economic repercussions made May 18 even more important to be remembered.

Six days later, her body would be found, revealing a brutal crime of sexual violence. Her aggressors have never been held responsible. In the year 2000, Law 9970 established this date as the National Day to Combat Abuse and Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents, noting the importance of facing this situation, in various spheres....
