The 80/20 of Trauma Healing: A Simple Full Guide
(Donât want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) I remember when I was younger, first getting into improving my mental health, I thought I had to do it all 100%, so I watched every YouTube video I could on trauma healing, I thought I had to do it 100%! As a result of this I got overwhelmed and stressed, I remember I would be in my room anxiously hoping that I was following the advice I heard online properly, this was no way to heal. That is why I came up with the 20% of trauma healing that will get you 80% of the benefits in mental health. Here it is: 1. Bring up unprocessed emotion, with whatever trauma you want to heal, simply just think back on it, journal about it, talk to someone about it, just bring up the old memory of trauma. 2. Process it, once the memory is back up you need to process the emotion you were meant to at the time of the event but could not, let yourself feel it but in a safe, healthy way of course, or even do some shaking for a few minutes while trauma is in your mind, that will work too. 3. Repeat, make that a daily habit, if you are like me you had 100âs of not more of those incidents in your life, so make that a consistent habit in your routine. Those 3 steps are the 20% effort of trauma healing that will get you 80% of the mental health benefits. Thanks for reading, hope it was valuable.
