Surviving Trauma

Healing is not easy but it is possible with a lot of determination and letting go of things that no longer serve you. You just have to want it bad.
Sometimes we have to deal with circumstances that our brain doesn’t know how to process.
If we were in situations as children, we were pushed into things that a child cannot reason with. Their brains don’t have the capability to understand what is happening to them. So they push the trauma deep into them and hide it so they can remain children. Sometimes they get stuck in that period of time that causes them problems when they become adults.
They might relive the trauma and think they are just having nightmares that destroys their sleep.
Or they act out against their abuser in the people they meet because they can have control now where they didn’t have it as a child. Anger, rage, not understanding what is happening to them, because they don’t remember what caused the trauma.
When having trauma come into your life as an adult, you struggle with the fact that you are an adult. You feel you should be able to handle it, but you feel things slipping out of your control. You feel embarrassed that you can’t appear all put together in front of people and you get depressed and upset.
Trauma affects people more than they think, especially unresolved trauma that they don’t remember. Studies have linked trauma to physical ailments that appear without cause. Cancer, mental health problems, heart disease related to stress are just a few.
But in all this there still lies hope. It is not an easy road and sometimes takes years to work through, but the end result is worth it. Healing that starts with us can benefit ourselves, (self love), our families, and the community at large.
When we begin to love ourselves and start releasing the guilt and shame, we begin to see that we don’t have to live under a black cloud all our lives. We see that we weren’t the problem and can release it and let it go.
We can teach our children to protect themselves, because in today’s world, it is desperately needed. We can teach them how to deal with bullies so that they aren’t stained with shame and low self worth.
Healing is not easy but it is possible with a lot of determination and letting go of things that no longer serve you. You just have to want it bad enough, that you will work through all the things that are holding you back from being your best self yet.
It’s all about surviving the trauma. Not letting it win and keep holding you back. You are stronger than you think. You can survive what has happened to you. You can be more than enough in your life. All you have to do is want it enough to work through it.
