Trauma is a scary thing
As a person everyone feels, everyone is always having emotions: sad, happy, angry, anxious, or even depressed. However no one is born with these mental illnesses or feelings they always come from something or someone that causes this. Today I want to touch bases on trauma that causes people to have feelings. Over the last 27 years of my life I have experienced all kinds of different emotions, as a child I have carried that throughout my life with me. You never realize that something might affect you or move through your life, until you start to see patterns that maybe someone else doesn't.
There's many factors that can cause traumas that could deeply impact a person's life, events like accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or loss of a loved one. When one experiences trauma it can lead to physical, emotional or psychological ways, often will have you feeling fear,anxiety, and even distress. There are many different ways you can receive help but first you're going to have to acknowledge that there might be something that is bothering you. Coping with this trauma isnt easy but you can seek out support from loved-ones, professionally, and take the time for self-care and healing.
Healing from trauma isn't easy, but you're not alone. There are millions of people every day that have to deal with different traumas, and getting professional help doesn't make you weak or less of a person, with that being said EVERYONE’S healing process is different. This is a long journey ahead of you, some people like to believe after seeking professional help all their issues go away.. From experience it takes a lot of self recognition, patience, and dedication.
Patience is the key within therapy because you have to give yourself time and compassion for oneself. It's important to create a safe place to be able to feel your emotions, memories and triggers that are associated with traumatic events.
Don't allow the trauma to take your life and control it any longer. There are many resources out there that can help you. When you take the steps to start healing you will see a dramatic impact. There are ways to start taking steps into recovery, to gain your sense of safety, trust and resilience. Always remember healing is a personal and unique path!
Hello, Mandi, this was a great post! I agree that trauma is a terrifying thing to come to terms with and can negatively affect someone's mental health. The sheer number of things that can be traumatic to a person is so vast and sometimes unassuming that someone might not even consider themselves traumatized. The CDC link was very informative on mental health and what could negatively affect it. I was not aware that having depression could increase one's risk of heart disease.
