Trauma Recovery is a Journey Back to You
Understanding Trauma and its Impact
Trauma impacts us in a multitude of ways depending on what we experienced, when and for how long, and how we were supported to process those experiences. When you can better understand how and why trauma may have impacted you and your relationships, you can develop some ideas about how to lesson that impact. That's why we are here.
Trauma is any experience where you were overwhelmed alongside being really frightened and you had no control over the outcome. When this happens repeatedly during childhood we call that 'developmental trauma' or 'relational trauma' or 'complex trauma'; that could be abuse or neglect.
Symptoms of trauma can include struggling with exhaustion, hypervigilance, complicated relationship dynamics, not really sure how you feel or what you want. You may feel agitated, sad or have lost hope things could improve. A need for control is understandably very common. You may have been carrying a heavy weight with you your whole life not knowing how to shed its load. You may feel so overwhelmed by a problem you don't know where to start unpicking it. You might fear doing so - what may unravel if you do?
Navigating how to recover is daunting. Helping someone recover can feel overwhelming. Trauma neurobiologically and interpersonally tends to separate us from ourselves and one other. Shame tends to disintegrate how we feel, connect and create, isolating us and making it hard to believe other positive experiences of us. Negative truths we tell ourselves can feel like the only truth. Trauma creates a sense of not being enough.
Trauma recovery is a daily practice that challenges that narrative and shows you that you ARE enough.
"Shame dies when stories are told in safe places" Ann Voskamp
“Our stories are not meant for everyone. Hearing them is a privilege, and we should always ask ourselves this before we share: "Who has earned the right to hear my story?" If we have one or two people in our lives who can sit with us and hold space for our shame stories, and love us for our strengths and struggles, we are incredibly lucky. If we have a friend, or small group of friends, or family who embraces our imperfections, vulnerabilities, and power, and fills us with a sense of belonging, we are incredibly lucky.” Brené Brown
Investing in yourself and putting yourself first is key to recovery. We want you to have the knowledge and feel empowered to shift things. We want you to see yourself differently, capable of healing, and growing, and showing up for yourself in a way that feels authentically you.
