Our Trauma, Our Story

Because sometimes the best therapy is a really good t-shirt

Born from Group Therapy

Trauma Buddies started in 2023 when our founder realized that everyone in their therapy group had the same dark sense of humor about their healing journey. What began as inside jokes became designs, and those designs became a movement.

We believe that healing doesn't always have to be serious. Sometimes the best way to process our struggles is to wear them on our sleeves (literally) and find community with others who get it.
