Experiencing Trauma
TWOTHREETWOTHREE LLC
It took me a very long time to understand that I am not the only person on this earth that goes through messed up, horrible, unthinkable situations. That it truly can be worse. Obviously in real time we often feel so alone that we tend to feel so sorry for ourselves and spiral into a pit of never ending thoughts. Which is OK. It is OK to feel sadness. It is OK to feel hopelessness. We as individuals have every right to feel the feelings we experience because we are HUMAN. We are not robots. You should be more concerned if you were emotionally unbothered in situations that are meant for a reaction. So with that being said, cry if you need to. Let your emotions run wild. But don’t let it consume you. By that I mean to let yourself feel those emotions in that very moment and recognize how it makes you feel. Then breathe, take a step back, and process. We are naturally wired to react out of emotion almost every time that we don’t actually take the time to recognize and process. We just accept the hurt and pain that is caused behind it and carry on with that.
