The Impact of Trauma on Your Energy.


Trauma can have a huge impact on your body as well as your mind. It is like an emotional shock wave that disrupts your entire system. When you experience trauma, it can lead to an overactivation of your stress system. Your body goes into a kind of survival mode, a natural response that helps us overcome danger, but also costs a lot of energy. 

After the intense phase of trauma, it is common to feel tired and exhausted for days, weeks or even months afterwards. This happens because your body and mind are working on the recovery process. You may experience symptoms such as:

Fatigue and exhaustion: You feel like you never got enough sleep, even when you did.

Sleep problems: Sleeping can be challenging; you may have trouble falling asleep or sleeping through.

Emotional exhaustion: The constant processing of emotions can burn up your mental energy.

Being patient with yourself during this period is essential. Recovery is not a straight line, it's a process that takes time. Give yourself space to recover and listen to your body's signals. If necessary, seek professional help. A therapist can help you work through the emotions associated with the trauma and guide you toward healthier coping mechanisms. You don't have to go through this journey alone. Remember that you are not alone and that it is okay to ask for help because honestly, we all need a little support sometimes, whether from friends, professionals, or maybe just a solid supply of snacks and a good cry but if you take your time to heal it will be ok and everything will be alright! So, give yourself the time and space to recover, listen to your body, and for heaven's sake, don’t feel guilty about binge-watching your favorite shows during this time. Do what you need to do for yourself to get your sanity together. Because you too deserve to go through life happy without your thoughts and insecurities taking hold on you.

Namaste with a attitude!
