Getting to know your ⚡nervous system⚡ and how trauma can affect it, is important as it allows you to acknowledge and notice what's going on in your body.
Trauma prolongs the body's experience of ⚡fight/flight or freeze⚡. Once the threat is gone, your body can stay in these modes longer than needed.
Check in with your body. Ask it 'what do you need?' and try to honour what your body needs. Does it need some grounding exercises, soothing, or social connection?
