Trauma

Past trauma has left you on guard.

Once, you were self-confident, but now, you walk on eggshells and second-guess yourself.

You want validation for everything you say and do to make sure you don’t upset anyone. Worrying about others’ feelings is more important than how you feel. How messed up is that?

Concentrating is difficult, and you often feel confused. You don’t trust yourself to make good decisions anymore.

Sometimes, you completely zone out because the memories are too painful. Nightmares make it hard to get a good night’s sleep. You’re irritable, and outbursts only add to the shame and overwhelming guilt.

Without help, trauma makes functioning harder.

Re-experiencing that event can affect your physical well-being. Your body reacts to stress. Sleep can become impossible, sudden triggers cause accelerated heartbeat, and you feel tired and drained of energy most days.

Trauma also has emotional impacts, causing increased anxiety and depression, and panic attacks. Irritability grows to anger, causing you to become more aggressive – impacting your relationships.

Flashbacks make you re-live the trauma repeatedly, causing you to stay on guard for that event to resurface.

Lack of self-care and concern for your welfare is absent. Driving too fast and drinking too much are great examples of how little you care about surviving.

You feel scared because this isn’t you.
