Trauma survivors do have gifts, or superpowers as I like to call them.
Because you had to dissociate to survive, you likely have an extraordinary imagination, and ability to put yourself into a trance state easily. 1/

Because you had to make it on your own, you likely have the ability to be fiercely independent.

Because you experienced deep and profound suffering, you likely have empathy the size of an ocean.

Because you had to anticipate what your abuser was going to do, you can likely sense others feelings and intentions without being told.

Because you constantly had to come up with ways to get by and survive, you are likely both highly creative and practical.

You have gifts, forged by fire, that others untouched by trauma simply don't have. What will you do with them? That's up to you.
