WHAT IS TRAUMA?
Unexpected event + High levels of stress + A moment that still impacts your perspective after the event is over
Trauma can debilitate you in one or a combination of the following symptoms:
- Emotionally- easily triggered or become angry/sad/anxious/constant fear.
- Physically- overeating, no appetite, racing heartbeats.
- It can destroy relationships- difficulty trusting others, difficulty understanding your partner's/friends/family point of view, always protecting yourself from others even when there is no argument.
Trauma can cause a simple phone call to cause you a panic attack or seeing one person from your past can make your heart race uncontrollably and cause you to become fatigued with constant thoughts of not being good enough.
