About WTF + The Fuckery of Trauma
A bold storytelling platform built by trauma survivors, for trauma survivors. Raw. Honest. Darkly funny. Unapologetically real.
We gather the moments you thought no one would understand — the absurd, the shocking, the validating — and we share them so none of us feel alone.
Our Story
This brand was born from the universal, unspoken moment trauma survivors know too well: WTF.
The moments where reality twists so far out of shape, you’re left speechless — confused, gaslit, and questioning your sanity.
But here’s the truth: It’s not you. It’s the fuckery of trauma.
WTF & The Fuckery of Trauma™ exists to name that absurdity out loud.
We believe in telling the stories that make others gasp, laugh, or cry because they’re so ridiculous and yet so real.
We are survivors, too. And we know that healing happens in those moments of solidarity where someone else says, “Holy shit, I thought it was just me.”
This platform was created to give those stories a home. A space where stories meet validation, dark humor meets healing, and no one has to wonder if they’re the only one who’s lived through the fuckery.
WTF & The Fuckery of Trauma™ didn’t start in a boardroom — it started in community. On a call with fellow trauma survivors, one of us shared a WTF moment that left everyone laughing, shaking their heads, and saying, “Only trauma survivors will get this.”
In that moment, the idea emerged: one person shared the thought that it would be even more powerful to have a coffee table book filled with real stories of trauma instead of just pretty pictures. That sparked a deeper conversation and from there, the group realized this wasn’t just a funny idea — it was a need. The conversation sparked energy, creativity, and excitement.
This concept was born from a collective moment: a group of trauma survivors coming together, sharing real WTF moments, validating each other, and brainstorming a space where the absurdity of trauma could finally be seen, heard, and honored.
WTF & The Fuckery of Trauma™ is a collective creation, built by survivors for survivors.
