About Trauma
Trauma is Universal.
Trauma happens to individuals and within families and communities on a daily basis. It is a human experience that many people know all too well. Traumatic experiences can occur rather sharply and without notice. Trauma is particularly not recognizable when experienced as a life-threatening event or physical and/or emotional distress.
Boundaries are healthy.
Trauma produces bodily shock that shuts down the forebrain (thinking component) during an event or circumstance. Permit yourself to unapologetically feel safe in your body, exercising your right without compromise. For instance, you know that a certain situation causes you stress, it’s quite ok to determine your need for self-attunement in the moment.
Triggers do occur.
Be aware of the physiological state of your body and what it is communicating to you. For example, if your heart begins racing, you become fidgety, nervous or hypervigilant to mention a few, your body is talking to you. Pay attention because the limbic portion of your brain responsible for “feelings” is speaking very loudly. Be self-attuned, compassionate to yourself and ask for what you need in the moment. Emotional scars are not easily recognizable.
Healing is possible.
