Moving on from Trauma: Tips and Advice

"Moving on from trauma can involve sitting with your feelings and allowing yourself to fully accept and feel them. Talking to a trusted counselor can be helpful, as well as moving the body since a lot of trauma gets stuck in the physical body. Trauma therapy is a different approach than regular therapy, focusing initially on getting you into a stable place before dealing with the trauma itself. It's also important to come to terms with the fact that your trauma is real and valid. Techniques such as EMDR therapy and DBT can be beneficial, along with developing coping skills like yoga, playing/learning musical instruments, reading, hiking, painting, and using singing bowls."
