How she healed from her trauma

Every day, we learn more and more about how to heal from trauma. It's my life's work to assist others overcome it, and it's a thrill to see the transformations that occur. Trauma robs us of our sense of well-being and happiness. Recovering from it is of the utmost importance. Getting your life back after a traumatic event is the ultimate goal of recovery.

Trauma disrupts your body, mind, memory, perception, mood, responses, and other aspects of your personality, such as your sense of self-awareness and identity, as well as many other parts of your brain, temperament, and physical body. To heal, all of those components must be taken care of.

The first step is to reestablish your cognitive faculties and return to a state of balance. In trauma texts, that portion is called "regulation and stabilization." Many of the issues, such as reactivity, mood, and the ability to be in the present, are addressed in this section.

Another phase is to build up one's ability to bounce back from adversity. As a result, I refer to this process as "resourcing," because it aids the client in gathering both internal and external assets that will be necessary for confronting painful memories. They might be referred to as social and emotional, respectively. You'll need them later on to rewire your brain and rewrite your story.

A variety of steps involving cognition, movement, emotion, bodily sensations, recognition of components and triggers, and memory reconsolidation must be completed before reprogramming may begin. "Processing" is a common term used to describe this phase of treatment in most approaches. That removes the negative impact of the memories from your system and provides you with the ability to observe the present without reference to the past.

Rebuilding your self-esteem and self-confidence is an additional step you should take. In order to do so, you may need to grieve the things you've lost as a result of the trauma. A rewrite of your story is required in addition to these first two processes. As long as a trauma victim's mental narrative isn't changed, the brain will return to the worst elements of the experience, re-traumatizing the sufferer and erasing the progress made in previous steps. While it's vital to heal some of the harm done to your relationships, it's also important to build up your sense of self-awareness, self-confidence, and competence.

It is not only feasible, but also enjoyable to recover from trauma. The vast majority of people who are able to do so go on to lead extraordinary and rewarding lives.
