Coping with Trauma: Tips and Strategies

I personally try to restructure it. I've had unreasonable amounts of terrible things in my life, and I've only recently really started to process it all and heal at the age of 50. Your brain needs to process what happened and file it away but it can't do that until it understands what happened. It's not so much the incident that causes the trauma, as it is the inability to express your feelings about it afterwards. Be kind with yourself and patient, face and love fiercely every bit of yourself, because YOU are the one that got you this far. ❤️ 🤗

Counseling and EMDR therapy
