"An attempt to do typical #trauma recovery, in the midst of ongoing trauma is the equivalent of undressing someone who is still standing in a life-threatening blizzard. You simply put the traumatized at greater risk of harm.

"When working with ongoing trauma, the focus is not so much on recovery or healing as it is on managing, containing, working together, surviving with dignity, and protecting those things which are valued and can be protected."

- Diane Langberg
