Trauma Defies Logic

How you respond to Trauma must Defy logic as well.

You cannot fix what pains you by using what you already know.

Common emotions when figuring out trauma.

What you can do.

It's scary!!! (You're already hurting, and you are doing something new.) It is supposed to feel this way.

Giving in to what you know often leads to unhealthy coping.

Traumatic response is a response to an event that you do not or should not have the skills/ability to handle.

The ideal situation would be to rewind time or erase the memory. Alas, a way to do this has not yet been discovered.

Yet, there is no lack of hope and possibility. There is potential in the trauma. There is the ability to learn, discover, and grow stronger.

Yet, it will take a journey. Some days will be for celebration; yet, others will be painful.
