Experiencing trauma can fundamentally shift your sense of safety, trust, and connection to others. It’s an overwhelming experience that, if left unaddressed, can lead the brain to stay in a constant state of defense. If these intense and draining feelings are keeping you from living a full, present life, please know this. You are strong for surviving, and there is genuine hope for recovery and healing.✨
Here are 5 Common Symptoms that may indicate you are processing past trauma:
1. Intrusive Thoughts- Unwanted, recurring memories that feel overwhelming, including vivid flashbacks where you feel like the event is happening right now.
2. Avoidance- Actively steering clear of places, people, or activities that remind you of the event, sometimes even forgetting key parts of the trauma itself.
3. Sleep Problems- Insomnia, difficulty staying asleep, or frequent, disturbing nightmares that leave you exhausted and unable to rest fully.
4. Constant Tension (Hyperarousal)- Feeling constantly anxious, restless, or hyper-alert—always scanning for danger, or being easily startled by sudden noises.
5. Emotional Shutdown- Feeling numb, detached from your body or reality (dissociation), or being unable to access or express positive emotions like joy or love.
If you recognize these signs, your next step is to reach out for professional help today. You don't have to carry this burden alone. 🤝
