Dealing with Childhood Trauma

I've dealt with a lot of abuse in my life different types from different people. My doctor put me on prazosin and it helps with the night terrors

Personally, I like to write out my dreams now matter how scary or traumatic. Or I draw. My drawings end up being a little depressing but either is a good outlet to let it out. No one likes to cry. But crying is a good form of therapy. I think just finding an outlet to release your emotions and trauma is helpful.

I like to touch something soothing to me. It brings me to back to the present. I also tell myself I am now safe multiple times

I had horrible nightmares until I started my current medication… for me, nothing else really helped…

My best advice is when u have flash backs just tell yourself you made it through that trauma and now it's time to let yourself grow as a person and maybe since there are other people that struggle maybe you can help them and they can help you... I'm just trying to say if your life is going good then allow yourself to see the good in life... that's what I do with the trauma I deal with from my biological "father" being abusive and shaking me in the air and screaming at me as my older sister was begging him to put me down.... My life ain't been that good but I know I'm strong enough to not let it put me in a bad place and I'm sure your a strong person yourself I've been told my whole life GOD only gives you what you can handle. Hopefully I've said something that helps...❤️
