Trauma like many mental illnesses is subjective. No two people deal with the effects of trauma the same way. Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Trauma although different for everyone can lead to some of the same mental disorders as PTSD, anxiety, depression etc.
Being a victim of sexual assault, a child to a parent who suffered from DV and other circumstances I have dealt with my own bouts of trauma and the effects that come from it. The symptoms that come from being traumatized can lead to disruption in many different areas of your life, one main area being your relationships.
I had to get deep with myself and realize that a lot of the things I did or the way I reacted was because of trauma. This was where most of my accountability came from, acknowledging where I was lacking and building on that. I still struggle with it every day; some days I'm killing it and others I struggle bad. Regardless of that I know they exist, and I just have to be a little more kind to myself.
Have you ever been in a traumatic situation or know anyone who has? What was your first instinct to dealing with it? Was your first thought to talk about it or react to it?
Tune into me and my guest Peace Morris as we talk about:
*What is trauma
*What are triggers
*What are the benefits of therapy and talking to someone about your trauma
And so much more...
