Hello
Recovering from trauma can be long and laborious. When trauma is not resolved, the body keeps score. The stress hormones that were released during the event to protect you keep circulating. The result is that you keep on replaying the same emotional responses of fear, panic, anger, anxiety over and over even when there is no need for fear.
This one traumatic event can be so bad that its imprint on the brain dictates your life from that moment on. We try to protect ourselves. We are always on the lookout for danger so the body does not get a chance to relax as the cortisol released during the event keeps on seeking to defend you. Our reaction to the fear or small stressors may become habitual. Or we begin/ develop a good habit out of our need for self defense.
What habits have you developed to cope with your trauma?
Please share so that we may all learn from each other.
Regards,
Sandra Hamilton
