Healing Trauma and Reclaiming Power: A Priestess’s Guide to Overcoming Malevolence
Trauma is not just about pain. It’s not just about suffering. It’s about what happens when you encounter pure malevolence—when you come face to face with someone who wants to harm you. Not by accident. Not by ignorance. But by intent. That’s what shatters people. That’s what creates the deepest wounds in the psyche.
Jordan Peterson speaks to this in one of his most powerful reflections on PTSD:
People who have PTSD don’t have it because they were hurt. They have it because they encountered someone who wanted to hurt them. And so it was that glimpse of that malevolence that fractured them... Wait until you tangle with someone who is malevolent. You will not be the same person after it—assuming you manage to put yourself back together at all.
There’s a truth here that runs deeper than psychology—it’s woven into the fabric of human existence. You can endure pain. You can go through illness, accidents, loss, and emerge intact. But when you see the will behind destruction, when you witness the deliberate choice to break, control, manipulate, or annihilate—you don’t just experience trauma. You experience a shattering of your worldview.
The Unseen Fracturing of the Psyche
We walk through life assuming—on some level—that people are mostly good. That if harm comes our way, it’s random, unfortunate, but not necessarily intentional. Then one day, you see into the abyss. You feel the presence of someone who is consciously inflicting pain, enjoying it, feeding off it. And something inside you collapses.
It’s not just the event that wounds you; it’s the realization. You realize that malevolence is not just an abstract idea. It’s real. It has a face. And in that moment, your mind fractures because the world is no longer what you thought it was.
The subconscious mind holds the architecture of our sense of security. It assumes a certain level of order, a certain predictability in the world. But true malevolence? It rips that foundation apart. And in its place, fear moves in—not just fear of pain, but fear of unknowing. If that kind of darkness exists, if someone can look you in the eye and want to break you, then what else is possible? What else have you been blind to?
This is why PTSD is not just about the past—it’s about the loss of trust in reality itself. It’s why people who’ve encountered evil can’t just “move on.” They’ve seen the darkness, and now they have to rebuild their inner world with that knowledge.
This is where the spiritual battle begins. The Battle Between Good and Evil is an Inner War. Because once you’ve seen malevolence, you need a philosophy of good and evil. If you don’t, you’ll either become consumed by fear and paranoia, or you’ll try to repress it, denying what you know to be true. But you must make sense of it. And that sense-making is religious in nature—not in the dogmatic way, but in the most primal, existential sense.
Good and evil are not just concepts; they are forces. And if you don’t consciously choose to align with one, the other will claim you. You must confront what you’ve seen, or it will haunt you. And the only way to do that is to step into a higher framework—one that does not just acknowledge malevolence, but understands how to overcome it.
The Only True Weapons: Truth and Love
So how do you combat evil? How do you reclaim yourself after witnessing the raw force of destruction?
With truth and love.
Truth is the antidote to deception. It is what keeps you from being manipulated, from falling into the traps of those who distort reality for their own gain. Truth gives you clarity—and with clarity, you are no longer easy prey.
Love is the force that restores what malevolence seeks to destroy. Not the soft, weak love that ignores darkness, but the fierce, all-consuming love that heals. Love is what rebuilds the fractured psyche. It is what allows you to trust again, to believe in something beyond the suffering.
These are not just poetic ideas. They are the only real weapons we have against malevolence. Because once you’ve encountered evil, you don’t just need healing. You need power. And power comes from standing in truth and choosing love despite everything you’ve seen.
The Path Back to Wholeness
When you’re in pain, when trauma grips you, it feels like there is nothing more fundamental than suffering. But suffering is not the final truth. The final truth is what you do with that suffering. Will you let it shape you into someone hardened, bitter, and afraid? Or will you use it as the fire that forges your soul into something greater?
You have seen the darkness. Now you must decide: Will you let it own you? Or will you claim your own divinity and rise beyond it?
This is the real initiation. The path of the priestess, the warrior, the sovereign being. A sacred path of TRUTH. On this path we do not to pretend the darkness doesn’t exist, but we face it, understand it, and choose something greater.
That is how you put yourself back together. That is how you reclaim your power.
