Trauma & PTSD

Deny. Diminish. Dismiss.

It really wasn’t that bad.

People have it much worse than me.

Talking about it only makes it worse.

Distressing. Disturbing. Dysregulation.

Overwhelming fear which results in physical and emotional symptoms.

Hypervigilance; what is going to happen next?

Responses are not proportionate to an event or experience.

Mind and body connection.

Understand how your body responds to trauma.

Practice working with the “here and now.”

Safely tune in to the wisdom of your body.

The single most important issue for traumatized people is to find a sense of safety in their own bodies.
