Whether based on genetic, familial, racial, historical, chemical, occupational, or age variable, the traumas realized by 100% of human life forms, in it's formative consequential effects, seem to find resolution in perhaps, a similar fashion to our varied immunity response to virus.
All peoples from birth are at some moment shaken in our core by sudden change. Change in understanding our wholely unique internal status quo. Like sickness, an infant nightmare, a sudden fall, a break, an unreasonable challenge, temperature, hunger, thirst, or violence, trauma can effect us in so many infinitely personal ways, some unfortunately devestating. Yet as with viral microscopic attacks to our physical being, we each bare varying abilities for immune survival response and an avenue toward better understanding our internal response to traumatic events.
Beat it, Bury it or Befriend it, at all cost, though each have a price and hopefully payoff.
Opening to your own self discovery is the cost. The cost for building immunity and the sometimes monumentally important, potentially painful adventure to recovery or at the least tolerance.
Either to another's holy trust or out to the universe by a lonely fire or screaming to the howling winds, you must open the obstructions to free your psychological pipes.
There are steps it seems for resolution to both simple and complex trauma. I leave those complex methods to far better educated and well paid resources than I.
My own observation and ultimately peace with my own disquieting events have now turned 58 years old.
I have had many things about myself to discover over time. I have found tools to weaken those traumatic footholds to the many levels of my doubt and fear. Some obvious and others long held and well hidden.
Some useful methods for taking trauma to task, I have found particularly useful.
Love yourself enough to forgive.
Forgive yourself most of all and escape what cycled through your past.
Forgive others for the cycles they road over and through you.
Connect to internal and/or external higher power for release and relief.
Get physical. Eat better, sleep better, work and work out.
Get outside and build up your inventory of positive moments.
Don't over do self pity, but Do something! Find your vent. I promise change will follow.
Support each other. Not with blind approval of every action but like a sports fan who wants their team to win with complete acceptance of each individuals incremental efforts forward.
Faith and positive regard have no negative effect on recovery, that I have ever seen. Have some faith. Faith in yourself and faith in others that, over what time is needed, each of us will navigate to ever calmer seas.
I have written this for the many I know still looking for relief and the many more for their apparent healthy progress. I am a fan. You are loved. Carry on.
