Overcoming Trauma: Finding Safety & Healing

Trauma is a natural response to an overwhelming experience. When we go through something distressing—like violence, a natural disaster, or a deeply painful event—our mind and body can struggle to process what happened. Our stress response goes into overdrive, leaving us feeling unsafe, stuck, or disconnected from the world.

If you’ve experienced trauma, you might notice:

​

✔ Feeling restless, on edge, or easily startled
✔ Trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks of the event
✔ Difficulty concentrating or remembering things
✔ Feeling fearful or hypervigilant (heart racing, always on guard)
✔ Increased frustration, irritability, or anger
✔ Withdrawing from others and feeling anxious or low
✔ Using alcohol or other substances to cope

​

These responses are not signs of weakness—they are your body and mind’s way of trying to cope. The good news is, healing is possible.

​
