Trauma and PTSD Recovery
It’s been years since that terrible experience…
But some days, it feels like it just happened.
Just thinking about the horror of it makes your body tense up.
You thought you buried it so deep that even YOU couldn’t find it.
If you pretended it didn’t happen or “it was just a part of the job,” then maybe it would go away.
Trauma overshadows your every step.
Looking over your shoulder is a part of your training. You enter a new building and immediately identify all the exits, planning possible escape strategies – all before ordering the first round.
Surrounded by so many people, you still feel alone.
Avoiding crowds, missing family outings, polishing off that six-pack…
These are all coping skills that keep you from facing those demons.
Just as you come up for air…
Painful memories engulf what little hope you had.
A slight challenge from the kids, dinner not ready at the usual time, that coworker won’t shut up…
You are one false move from a complete blow-up. It’s getting harder and harder to get ahold of the rage.
You get defensive: calling out sick, raising your voice, bringing up old issues with your partner.
Or you throw in the towel, withdrawing to the garage, the golf course, or the gym – anywhere that gives you the silence and isolation you think you need.
No matter your path, you realize that you’re damaging the already fragile relationships in your life.
What happened that changed your life forever…
Trauma can be a single experience, like a car accident, sports injury, surgery, death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or an unsettling life event.
It also happens because of repeated abuse, assault, deprivation, war, rejection, and more.
These experiences, whether they happened once or several times, start a stress response in your body that can manifest in different ways: chronic illness, cancer, anxiety, depression, autoimmune disorders, and so on.
Science shows us that persistent, unaddressed, negative life experiences heavily impact our minds and bodies.
Stuck on the trauma rollercoaster…
You’ve pushed through the pain and shoved down your emotions to get by for so long…
But something has to change.
The memories are landing rapid-fire with no end in sight…
The terrors of the past are demanding to be seen…
Through no fault of your own, you can’t stuff, think, or avoid your way out of it.
The only way out is through.
