Trauma Recovery and PTSD

If you ever experience emotional distress…

And your system doesn’t know what to do with it…

You’ve experienced trauma.

It doesn’t matter if somebody else had it worse.

It doesn’t matter if others don’t see it as trauma.

Your system (body – mind – spirit) does, and that’s all that matters.

Reacting instead of responding…

That’s what you do when your system is out of control.

It happens instantly: A word, an action, a tone of voice, an attitude… the sensations surge through you, causing you to lash out, collapse, or hide.

That’s what life looks like when you run in “survival mode.”

If you’re here, you’ve probably been living that way for a long time.

But it’s not really living.

You always try to please everybody just to keep the peace – at great expense – at YOUR expense.

You push it away and try to move beyond it, but it’s still there.

The past is gnarled up inside you, and sometimes, you realize you’re reacting to it instead of what’s happening in the present.

Troubling memories bubble up…

You live in fear of what might happen…

You’re always on the lookout for the next bad thing…

You’re on edge, and if you’re like most people who have experienced trauma, you might not even know why.

Those things you tell yourself to keep moving…

Maybe you’ve tried to convince yourself, “it wasn’t that bad” – or “Others have had it way worse.”

Perhaps you’ve been in the military, law enforcement, or among first responders, so you stuff it down, vowing not to be weak or “let it get the best of you.”

Maybe you’ve never been on the front lines of anything, so you dismiss the possibility that you COULD have PTSD.

Well, guess what? Most people diagnosed with PTSD have never been in the military.

Recovery requires a different approach.

Talking about it doesn’t heal. Yes, we will need to talk about it, but we do not expect the talk to heal.

And we do NOT go over it again and again and again.

To heal, you have to address the brain-to-body-to-brain connections that were formed when the trauma occurred.

In the past decade, new approaches like somatic work, breath work, EMDR, Brainspotting, Brain Mapping, and neurofeedback have been devised to help you address the trauma physically.
