• IS Your Lack of Motivation Covering Up Trauma?

  

  Struggling with motivation or discipline isn’t always about willpower. Trauma can change the brain and lead to avoidance, low self-esteem, and trouble getting things done. Research shows that trauma is often behind these struggles. Healing and support-not just pushing harder-can help rebuild motivation and make it easier to move forward.
