Lingering Trauma
Manage episode 361707012 series 3439522
Lingering trauma is a traumatic event or series of events that continue to impact a person's life long after the initial traumatic experience has ended.
Trauma can stem from a variety of experiences such as physical, mental, or emotional situations that can cause a severe impact on a person.
Everyone’s different and some can process trauma and move forward without an effect in their life, but for some, the impact can be long-lasting and have a significant impact on their emotional, mental, and physical well-being and daily functioning.
One thing that's important to understand about lingering trauma is that it's not something that just goes away on its own and we must take the time to go through our process and on our own timing. Don’t allow anyone to force you to process trauma for their comfort and at your expense. Don’t ignore your traumatic experiences or suppress your emotions, thinking that blocking it out is an easy and quick to help them to move on. Accept, acknowledge, and analyze your feelings and allow yourself to feel. Grief is traumatic and it’s okay to grieve in your own way and process within your own timing.
