Trauma can be a very difficult thing to deal with because it makes us feel overwhelmed and helpless. Have you ever had a traumatic experience before? Trauma is more than just life-or-death situations. Aside from all the accidents and natural disasters we see on the news, trauma can come from experiences of violence, bullying, assault, physical or emotional abuse. Sadly, some people never heal from the psychological scars of their trauma because they’re too afraid to confront it. They wrongly believe that it’s easier to just deny their feelings and act like they’re okay because they fail to realize just how harmful internalized trauma can be. So, we’ve made this video to help you identify the things that you might do due to unhealed trauma to help you better understand yourself and your emotional wounds.
