After a road traffic accident (RTA), many people hear the phrase “just give it time.” While time can help, it isn’t the only factor in healing. Trauma recovery requires active effort, support, and the right tools, because pain doesn’t simply fade on its own.
Time alone doesn’t rebuild confidence
learning coping strategies does.
Time doesn’t erase flashbacks or anxiety
therapy, resilience practices, and support networks can.
Time doesn’t restore your sense of identity
self-work and guidance help you reclaim it
The truth is, waiting passively can leave survivors feeling stuck. Healing comes from engagement, whether through journaling, building resilience, or programs like TPS that focus on both body and mind.
Press play when you feel like you should be “over it” by now – recovery takes more than waiting.
🧡 Key Takeaway
Recovery isn’t passive. Time may soften the edges, but true healing happens when you actively participate in your journey
