3 Ways To Heal Trauma

If you look up the word “trauma” in the Dictionary, one of the first definitions you get is: a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.

I’m just taking a wild guess here, but I’d imagine that you’ve experienced something disturbing or distressing in your life. Am I right?

We all have! We’re adult humans and it’s a natural part of life. The problem is that many of us have experienced prolonged periods of emotional trauma or a brief but damaging physical trauma to our brain — and it wasn’t addressed or healed properly when it happened.

The scary fact is that most of us who have trauma don’t even know it.

I sure didn’t.

In my case, the first clue that something wasn’t right were the subtle triggers I started to experience. Hearing a friend chewing pizza loudly, or a falling broom clattering to the ground was all it took for me to see red. Little things like this would send me into a meltdown! I’d have to excuse myself and walk into another room to cool off. I figured it was more or less normal though — I mean, who wants to listen to a noisy chewer?

However, when a loved one gently took me aside and told me that my reactions were over-the-top, I knew I needed to investigate what was going on. Identifying my triggers was the first step in acknowledging my brain was hurting. There were other signs of a more spiritual nature too, like spiritual visions and out-of-body experiences. But that’s a story for another time!
