Trauma is like the emotional baggage we carry from the painful things that happened to us. It's not just the memories; it's how they mess with our heads and hearts.
You might have intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or feeling on edge all the time. The brain's alarm system is stuck on high alert mode.
Intense mood swings, the overwhelming sense of shame and guilt that seems to weigh me down like a ton of bricks. It's like I'm trapped in this never-ending cycle of self-blame, unable to break free from the negative thoughts and beliefs that tell me I'm broken, damaged, unworthy of love or happiness.
Living with trauma feels like I'm constantly walking on eggshells, never knowing when something might trigger those terrifying memories to come flooding back. The nightmares, the flashbacks – they're like unwelcome visitors that refuse to leave, haunting me day and night. It's exhausting, trying to navigate through life with this constant sense of fear and unease, always on high alert for the next threat lurking around the corner
Trauma has a way of isolating you from the people you care about. Relationships suffer, friendships fade away, and I'm left feeling like I'm on the outside looking in, longing for connection but too afraid to let anyone get too close. It's a painful reality to face, knowing that the very thing I crave – connection – is also the thing I fear the most
Trauma can also manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and chronic pain. These physical manifestations are often linked to the body's physiological response to stress and can exacerbate existing mental health symptoms.
Therapy offers a supportive environment which can be a beacon of hope in the darkness of trauma, providing a safe harbor where healing can begin.
