Working Through Trauma- Emotional and Physical
When most people consider an event that leads to trauma, they think of a physical accident. When most people consider a loss, it is the loss of a loved one. However, with trauma and loss there are no hard, definitive boundaries. Losses can invoke symptoms of trauma and the significance of a loss is different for everyone.The symptoms of traumatic loss are as vast as the potential causes- including those that are mental, emotional and physical. Massagetherapy.com posted an article that identifies some key points in working through these symptoms. Read the article Surviving Trauma for more detail, but to summarize, these stages include:
- Feel Your Feelings
- Expect Ups and Downs
- Don’t Do It Alone
- Talk About It
- Writing Really Helps
- Look For The Positive
