Inability to Ask for Help

Listen Later

The inability to ask for help is a common trauma response. It can be caused by a number of factors, including:

  • Fear of being rejected or abandoned. People who have experienced trauma often have a deep-seated fear of being rejected or abandoned. They may worry that if they ask for help, others will not be there for them or will judge them.
  • Feeling like they don't deserve help. People who have experienced trauma may also feel like they don't deserve help. They may believe that they are to blame for what happened to them, or that they are not worthy of being cared for.
  • A belief that they can handle things on their own. Some people who have experienced trauma may develop a strong sense of independence. They may believe that they are the only ones who can take care of themselves, and that asking for help is a sign of weakness.
