🚨 When to Seek Professional Support
While self-healing is powerful, some situations require professional guidance:
Consider therapy if you experience:
- Severe trauma symptoms or PTSD
- Suicidal thoughts or self-harm urges
- Substance abuse or addictive behaviors
- Dissociation or loss of time
- Inability to function in daily life
Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Your healing journey is sacred and deserves proper support.
