Okay. We are done.

Congratulations. You are on the path to your new life.

Not all of us are doing this alone, for example, Johnnetta McSwain suffered childhood trauma at the age of 4 years old. Wrote a book about her trauma and went to school to get her Ph.D. She wrote a statement that I would like to quote – “Becoming self-aware that we are women of strength who stand for survival, empowerment, motherhood, leadership, love, nurturing, beauty, respect and courage to overcome anything.” These words are so encouraging to all of us that can remember them and apply them to our lives.

Now you can have an exciting new life free from the threat of diseases that are caused by not dealing with your trauma issues. You will achieve a state of healthful wellness, and you will look and feel younger, just by dealing with your past trauma. Like me. I have seen life at its worst and I thought it would be the death of me, but I have a new lease on life and am living the life of my dreams. Believe me when I say, “I know what you’re going through,” you are not alone. If I can do it, you can do it, too. My name is Rosa m. luna thank you for listening, and you can find me at Rosa M luna.com Many Blessings.

Coming Back from Trauma

Phases of Recovery

What are the different phases you go through when coming back from trauma? Psychological trauma occurs as a result of some stressful events in life. It destroys your sense of safety and security and involves a basic threat to life, lack of trust.

Traumatic experiences can be coping, but it takes some time and your ability to blend emotions involved with the experience.

Psychological trauma usually makes a person hopeless and leaves a person struggling with their emotions.

When bad events happen, it can take time to get over the pain and sense of safety and security again.

Whether the trauma happened in past years or yesterday, you can heal from it and can move further into your happy life.

Any instance that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and frightened can be traumatic.

It’s not the purpose that determines whether an event is traumatic but preferably your subjective emotional experience of the event.

Healing from trauma is a personal process, and it looks different for different people.

Your distinctive ability to heal from trauma depends on many things that include your beliefs and perceptions. Your level of coping, connection towards others, and even your psychological functioning before the event.

Overcoming your feelings

The first thing in healing from trauma includes reestablishing feelings of stability and security. Trauma victims have insecure feelings. Regaining a sense of protection involves creating a secure and predictable environment.

Remembrance

The second stage is about processing the trauma and naming it. Begin to use words and emotions to give a name to trauma and explain your situation to your friends or have counseling from a therapist to reduce your trauma and heal you. Give yourself time to grieve and express your feelings.

Reconnection

The third phase is about giving new hope for the coming future. Allowing redefine yourself in a healing process. Take some steps to reclaim your personal willpower. Add a Mindful element.

Meditation can also calm and help you as well. Mindfulness tells you to live in the present moment rather than thinking of the past.

Post-traumatic growth

The fourth phase is post-traumatic growth. In this phase, you may be changed by your experience of trauma. Post-traumatic growth is experienced when positive mental health experiences are experienced, which raises you to a higher level of functioning than you otherwise have achieved.

Recovery

By going through these phases successfully, it will help you to be free from the traumatized life and live a meaningful and rewarding life. Recovery from trauma gives a person new meaning to his life and the strength and secret of living a happier life. You must allow yourself the opportunity to heal.

What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us. We are all responsible for everything in our life.  The best and the worse. Recovering from trauma gives us our control back. Don’t give away your power by blaming another person. We are the only ones thinking for ourselves. We can create peace and harmony and balance in our mind, then we can find it in our lives.

Many blessings to you.

Being Successful After Suffering Trauma

People usually think that after trauma, their life will be finished. But that is not true. With the help of strong will-power, you can be successful after traumatic stress. This article will tell you how to be successful after trauma and achieve something bigger after trauma.

Education:

To move from the process of trauma to growth, you should first educate yourself about the trauma.

Let’s take an example, many of us believe that we are safe from endangering diseases; bad things only happened in other places but cannot harm us in any way. Unfortunately, none of that was true. Now, we must change our perceptions and figure out what to believe instead of false perceptions.

Emotional Regulation

A person should be in the right frame of mind to do any learning. The first step is to start managing negative emotions such as anxiety, guilt, and anger, which can be easily done by shifting the kind of thinking that takes you to those feelings.

Instead of focusing on your losses, failures, uncertainties, a try to think about your success, consider best-case possibilities, and reflect all those success factors on your company’s resources, and think carefully that as a person, what can you do for a big achievement.

Disclosure

This is the part of the ongoing process in which you talk about different scenarios of what has happened and is happening; its effects short- and long-term, personal, and professional. This kind of thing helps everyone make sense of the trauma and turn thoughts into productive reflections.

If you’re helping someone to talk about what it’s been like to experience this crisis, asking many questions can seem like you are more curious rather than concerned. However, it is important to care about others, make sure they want to discuss this information.

It’s best to focus on how others take your concern and what kinds of words are correct to use.

Narrative Development

It is the step in which you have to produce the narrative story about the trauma and the reflection of afterwards to accept the chapters already written and imagine crafting the next ones in a meaningful way. Your traumatic story and the stories of people you’re helping can and should be about a traumatic past that leads to a better and bright future.

Service

People do better after the process of trauma if they find work that benefits others and helps people close to them or their broader community or victims of events similar to the ones they have endured. So, help others who are having similar problems, who are facing difficulty in overcoming similar anxiety disorders. This can give you a sense of growth, a satisfying, and peaceful life.

 

Be patient while in the process of dealing with trauma. Those who are practicing in this field know that timing is important. Growth is a long procedure  and it takes time.

However, when you and your other traumatized individuals are ready, it is worth the effort. Let’s promise to ourselves that we learn from the crisis and do something productive.

Many Blessings to you.

How can Trauma turn you into a better person?

You look all round you as you step out into society, there’s people who are talking to themselves, some yelling out loud to themselves, you know that they could have a mental illness of some sort.

Other people who’s faces you see are frowning. But then you see children, they are laughing, playing with something and giggling. Aww… to be free again like that, without a worry of how are we going to be paying the rent and bills. What is making us so unhappy? There are a lot of people out there who are not happy. They are not even content!

Everyone prays that they will be able to avoid the worst things of life, like accidents, illnesses, loss of a loved one, or loss of their job. Fortunately, a few of us will get through life just fine.

According to PTSD research, 75 percent of people will experience a traumatic event in their lifetime.

These traumatic events will create significant pain. A near miss of a life loss, can also be a powerful push for positive change. Was I spared to do something better with my life? Is there a reason, some of us are not crippled by life’s experiences.

Post-traumatic growth can be transformative. Many people I interviewed for my book told me that despite the physical pain and the daily struggles they faced, their lives were unquestionably are better today than before their traumatic experiences. Why? Do you know?

The following steps should be included to overcome trauma:

  • You show respect to yourself for doing better than expected.
  • Don’t let their feelings prevent you from living a better life.
  • You can help by encouraging another person that their reactions to trauma are normal.
  • Offer practical support and understanding.
  • Stop thinking about negative things. It takes effort and focus for this.
  • Honor yourself and others who you know are successful without using drugs and alcohol to heal their pain .
  • Your trauma experience does not define you!

What is the best therapy for Trauma?

Traditional Therapeutic Approaches to Help You Heal from Trauma  

Pharmacotherapy is the use of medications to manage disruptive trauma reactions. I truly, do not believe in taking medication. I do understand it could come in handy as a temporary method to combat overwhelming feelings. I would not use it myself, unless my life stayed in chaos for 6 mouths.

  • Behavior Therapy.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Talk Therapy
  • Psychodynamic Therapy.
  • Simply talking to others who have succeeded with healing trauma at group therapy (you will be able to associate with others who are successful and make new friends).

Does Trauma make you a better person?

Traumatic events can agitate us to the core, leaving us in shambles both mentally, physically, and emotionally  But stop thinking negatively. Psychologists are also finding that traumatic actions can change us into more robust, better individuals.

How do you healthily deal with Trauma?

Following are some ways to take care of yourself while you’re getting over a trauma:

  • Become aware of your environment make it safe for you.
  • Be able to forgive yourself and others, if possible, if not “be willing to try”
  • Learn to let go of what no longer serves you.
  • Self awareness that you do not have to be a victim.
  • You are a survivor.
  • Take it one day at a time.
  • Eat healthy, nutritious meals and snacks.
  • Schedule time for nature walks, exercise, dance, jump up and down to circulate your energy.
  • Listen to your body and learn its signals to depression, headaches, ask yourself why?
  • Attend support groups, church, or go somewhere safe to meet others.
  • Stay away from bars or clubs.
  • Consider talking about your feelings with someone you trust.

Remember you are not alone, look around you, there are happy people around you, they are in a place where they can help you and others.

Many of us have had some sort of trauma.

We are survivors.

Go and help the children who will soon become adults. Volunteer to save them and show them that they will be alright and so will you.
