Humans are incredibly resilient. Trauma happens to all of us and we are generally equipped to recover from it. But when bad things happen, our resilience is determined in large part by what happens after the trauma is over.
Were we surrounded with love and support, or left to pick up the pieces alone? If we were a child, were adults there to protect us, explain what happened, help us process our emotions, and make us feel safe again? If not, the impact of the trauma is far greater and our ability to recover is significantly diminished.
This is why adult survivors of childhood abuse and/or neglect can have such a difficult time dealing with adversity in adulthood. The feelings of being alone, helpless, incapable, confused and unsafe can easily rise back up to the surface. This may cause responses that seem exaggerated or otherwise inappropriate to the current context.
It’s so important to understand our trauma triggers so we can make sense of our internal world. Can anyone relate to this? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏾🙋🏻‍♂️
