Simple Full Guide to Understand Trauma
(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) Do you want to heal your trauma from family, from bullying, from sexual assault, or whatever? Well then read on because in this simple full guide I'm going to give you the knowledge you need to understand trauma properly so you can actually heal. Let's get into it: Part one: Identifying traumas. Imagine this if you got a bad grade in your maths examples, your dad slaps you or something and then understandably you may want to cry after that. He says, "Oh and if you cry, I will slap you again?" That's an example where trauma could be formed but it could be for other things, for example bullying. Imagine you're getting the piss taken out of you in the school corridor and you want to be angry but for some reason, so weird, the teachers are on their side over yours. That actually happened to me and if you be angry, for example, and you process that emotion then you will get in trouble for that, which is just messed up but sadly it's just how school is. Another example would be, for example, sexual assault. Let’s say that you got grabbed or something touched inappropriately and you wanted to process an emotion but maybe it was in public transport or whatever and you don't really want to show yourself up in public, right? You don't want to get the social judgement. That's an example of some of the most common traumas and how they would form. Part two: How to filter out the noise. There's a lot of noise on trauma healing; there's a lot of over-complications of things that should be simple, like trauma. Trauma in general all it is unprocessed emotion but a lot of people over complicate it like "Oh, mindset trauma, oh physical trauma, and you need therapy for 20 years. You need to go and get a psychologist or you need this and you need to have a degree in therapy and all this noise." Truthfully why those things are nice and yes physical trauma and stuff such as getting a mental health degree can be valuable for some, for most cases they're not relevant for most people trying to heal simply.
