This photo, taken by Stanley Forman in 1975, shows 2-year-old Tiare Jones and 19-year-old Diana Bryant falling from a 5th-floor fire escape after it collapsed during a fire.
Diana died, but Tiare survived as Dianaβs body cushioned her fall. The photo later won a Pulitzer Prize.

Chronic stress and trauma creates a situation where weβre stuck in our own mind. An endless cycles of racing thoughts created by a dysregulated nervous system. The brain over-thinks when survival feels threatened.
