Trauma can be a very difficult thing to deal with because it makes us feel overwhelmed and helpless. Have you ever had a traumatic experience? Trauma is more than life and death situations. Aside from all the accidents and natural disasters we see on the news, trauma can come from experiences of violence, intimidation, assault, physical or emotional abuse. Unfortunately, some people never heal from the psychological scars of their trauma because they are too scared to face it. They mistakenly believe that it's easier to just deny their feelings and act like they're okay because they don't realize how damaging internalized trauma can be. So, we've made this video to help you identify things you might do about unhealed trauma to help you better understand yourself and your emotional wounds.
