🌸 Triggered by Trauma

An Insight Into a Person with Bipolar Disorder

Carmel Nardene Aromatherapy



























When Trauma Meets Bipolar Disorder

For someone living with bipolar disorder, past trauma can sit just beneath the surface. A trigger can quickly activate emotional memories and overwhelm the nervous system, leading to responses that may seem sudden or intense — but they are rooted in survival, not intention.

How Trauma Can Influence Bipolar Reactions

🔹 Heightened Emotional Sensitivity
Feelings may surge faster or stronger than expected. This is the nervous system trying to protect itself.

🔹 Rapid Mood Shifts
Triggers may cause sudden shifts from calm to anxiety, sadness, agitation, or overwhelm.

🔹 Fight–Flight–Freeze Responses
Irritability, withdrawal, panic, or shutdown may occur when the brain senses danger.

🔹 Cognitive Fog or Racing Thoughts
Thinking clearly can become difficult. The mind loops in an attempt to regain safety.

🔹 Emotional Exhaustion Afterwards
Once the trigger passes, they often feel drained, apologetic, or confused about their own reaction.

What They Need Most

💗 Patience
💗 A safe environment
💗 Calm support
💗 Space to regulate
💗 Compassion — not correction

Trauma-triggered reactions are not a reflection of their character; they are a reflection of their journey. With nurturing support, grounding, aromatherapy, mindfulness, and stability, balance can be restored.

Triggered by Trauma:

An Insight Into a Person with Bipolar Disorder

When a person lives with bipolar disorder, past trauma can sit just beneath the surface — often invisible to others. A trigger, even something small or unexpected, can pull them back into emotional memories that overwhelm the nervous system. This does not mean they are “weak” or “unstable”; it means their brain is responding to past pain that hasn’t fully healed.

Trauma can intensify bipolar symptoms in powerful ways:

1. Heightened Emotional Sensitivity

Their emotional responses may feel bigger, louder, or faster than the situation deserves. This is the nervous system protecting itself, not a choice.

2. Rapid Mood Shifts

Triggers can quickly push someone from calm to anxious, sad, agitated, or overwhelmed. It can resemble the onset of a manic or depressive state, even if temporary.

3. Fight, Flight, or Freeze Responses

Trauma can activate survival instincts — irritability, withdrawal, shutting down, panic, or restlessness. These behaviours are often misunderstood as being “difficult,” when in fact they are protective.

4. Cognitive Confusion or Overthinking

When triggered, their thoughts may race or become foggy. Decision-making feels harder. The mind loops to keep itself safe.

5. Exhaustion After Emotional Surges

Once a trigger passes, people with bipolar often feel drained, apologetic, or confused about their own reactions.

What They Need Most

💛 Safety
💛 Patience
💛 Understanding
💛 Space to regulate
💛 Compassion, not correction

A triggered reaction is not a reflection of their character — it is a reflection of their journey. Trauma shapes the way the brain perceives danger, and bipolar disorder can magnify that sensitivity. With support, grounding, consistent routines, aromatherapy, guided meditation, and a calm presence, they can return to balance again.

🌿 How to Feel More Like Yourself After Depression Has Eased Following trauma event

A gentle guide for reclaiming safety, identity, and emotional grounding

1. Acknowledge That ‘Normal’ Changes After Trauma

Trauma shakes the nervous system. Depression is the mind and body’s response to overwhelm.
As the depression lifts, many people feel:
• emotionally flat
• disconnected from their old self
• unsure how to act or feel
• guilty for feeling better
• scared the darkness might return

This is common — not a sign you’re doing anything wrong.

Instead of asking “Why don’t I feel normal?”

Try asking:
“What does my new version of safe and grounded feel like?”

2. Rebuild Your Sense of Safety (Step by Step)

Safety is the foundation of feeling normal again.

Ways to support your nervous system:
• Create predictable routines (morning + bedtime rituals help)
• Spend time with people who feel genuinely safe
• Reduce chaos or overstimulation in your day
• Use calming tools: aromatherapy, grounding exercises, herbal teas
• Name your emotional state without judging it

When the body feels safe, the mind begins to reconnect.

3. Let Yourself Reconnect to Pleasure (At Your Own Pace)

After trauma, pleasure — emotional OR physical — can feel confusing or even scary.

You can support yourself gently by:
• rekindling hobbies
• enjoying nature
• using scent therapy (lavender, bergamot, vetiver, geranium)
• reconnecting with touch through self-massage, warm showers, body creams
• mind–body practices like meditation or breathwork

There’s nothing rushed about this. You choose the pace.

4. Move Your Body in Ways That Feel Soft and Loving

Movement regulates trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Examples:
• slow walking
• swimming
• stretching
• gentle yoga
• intuitive movement (swaying, rocking, breathing with movement)

Your body has carried so much. Movement helps release it.

5. Talk About What Happened (When You Are Ready)

Healing accelerates when your story is met with support, belief, and safety.

This might be:
• a psychologist
• a trauma counsellor
• a trusted person
• a support worker
• a support service like 1800RESPECT (Australia)

You don’t need to retell every detail — just sharing the emotional impact is enough.

6. Rebuild Self-Trust

Trauma makes you doubt your instincts. Depression adds layers of self-blame.

Try:
• validating your feelings (“It makes sense I feel this way”)
• honouring small achievements
• setting boundaries without apologising
• choosing what feels right for you, not others

Every small decision reinforces your sense of self.

7. Allow Yourself to Feel Joy Without Guilt

A strange thing happens after depression lifts — joy feels foreign or “wrong.”
You might wonder:
• “Do I deserve to feel happy?”
• “Is it too soon?”
• “What if it doesn’t last?”

These thoughts are trauma echoing, not truth.
Happiness does not betray your experience — it honours your survival.

8. Create Soothing Daily Rituals

This is something you already excel at with your aromatherapy work.

You can support yourself with:

🌸 Aromatherapy
• Lavender — calming the nervous system
• Bergamot — lifting low moods
• Frankincense — grounding
• Rose — healing the heart
• Ylang Ylang — restoring feminine energy and emotional safety

✨ Crystal Support
• Amethyst — emotional balance
• Rose Quartz — self-love
• Black Tourmaline — protection
• Selenite — cleansing

🌿 Grounding exercises
• 5–4–3–2–1 sensory grounding
• Holding a warm candle
• Slow breathing
• Walking barefoot on the earth

These rituals signal to your body:
“You are safe now.”

9. Be Patient With Yourself

Healing from trauma/assault is not linear.
Some days you’ll feel strong.
Some days you’ll feel fragile.
Both are part of recovery.

Your worth hasn’t changed.
Your softness hasn’t changed.
Your capacity to heal is still there.

10. If you ever feel low again — please reach for support early

You don’t need to wait for rock bottom.

Support options (Australia):
• 1800RESPECT (24/7) – 1800 737 732
• Lifeline (24/7) – 13 11 14
• Beyond Blue – 1300 22 4636
• A GP or psychologist
• A trusted support worker or trauma-informed friend

You deserve someone holding space for you

💗 You are not broken — you are healing

Feeling “normal” again is not about erasing what happened.
It’s about reconnecting to yourself with gentleness, softness, and compassion.

Ashwagandha may benefit stress and anxiety, sleep quality, cognitive function, and exercise performance. It is an adaptogen, meaning it may help the body manage stress by lowering cortisol levels. Studies suggest it can improve sleep, memory, and attention, and enhance strength and muscle mass in people who are resistance training. It has also shown potential benefits for men’s reproductive health and blood sugar regulation.
Stress and anxiety
Reduces stress: Ashwagandha may help the body better manage stress by lowering cortisol, a stress hormone.
Calms the nervous system: It has a long traditional use as a relaxant for the nervous system.
Sleep and mental clarity
Improves sleep: While not a sedative, it may help improve sleep quality, efficiency, and lead to deeper, more restful sleep.
Enhances focus: By reducing stress, it can support improved mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function.
Exercise performance
Increases strength and muscle mass: Studies on people doing resistance training show it may lead to significant increases in strength and muscle mass.
Improves physical performance: It may enhance cardiorespiratory endurance, power, and velocity.
Other potential benefits
Men’s reproductive health: Some research suggests it can increase testosterone, semen volume, and s***m quality in men.
Blood sugar: Some studies indicate it may help restore altered blood glucose levels.
Inflammation: It may help reduce inflammatory markers in the body, though more research is needed.
Brain health: Beyond memory and attention, it has shown potential benefits in areas like reaction time and executive functioning.
