Everyone has a past. However, not all stories leave good memories. Not a few people also want to erase traces of the past so they can live more calmly. Unfortunately life choices are not that easy.
Trauma or injury is an extremely painful event, causing a person to suffer physical or psychological harm. Trauma is not the same as fear. Trauma can create fear, but it cannot be interpreted as fear.
A number of unpleasant events are often memorable stories and hard to forget. The incident is a traumatic experience that makes a person's psychological condition uncomfortable. For example: the death of a family member, diagnosed with a chronic disease, being a victim of a natural disaster or experiencing physical or psychological abuse.
The following is how people reacted to the trauma they experienced would be different:
Physical reactions You will feel stomach pain, headaches and your body will feel weak.
Mental reactions such as causing a lack of concentration, difficulty remembering and paying attention, and often have illusions.
Behavioral reactions such as tend to be alone and unable to control emotions.
This psychological trauma is like a rolling snowball getting bigger and bigger. If the more buried, the burden on the mind will be heavier so that it can overflow at once. Things that can be done to reduce the consequences of trauma include:
Make peace with yourself
The inevitable first step is to learn to be true to yourself. Try to be brave enough to accept what has happened sincerely, no matter how bad it is. Give yourself time to reflect on the past, but don't let it drag on.
A container to open up
Everything that is buried is not good. Therefore, you need to express it in any way. There is no need to need a certain ability to release it. A simple way is to write down what you are worried about, for example in a daily journal.
Stay positive
The greatest influence in this is the thoughts that are within oneself. Don't forget a saying like this: You are what you think. Try to continue to think positively so that it can have a positive impact on your attitude. Also, don't withdraw from those around you and your environment. You don't need to hesitate to ask for support from relatives and family so that you can still get back up. Stick to your usual routine with a regular eating and sleeping schedule.
Consultation with an expert
If the burden is getting heavier and you are unable to do self-healing, immediately consult a psychologist or psychiatrist. Expert assistance will be very helpful in restoring feelings. You can also reduce the effects of trauma, live more calmly and be motivated again so that you can take over life again.
