Trauma does not always look the way people expect it to.
You may be functioning well in many areas of your life while still experiencing reactions that feel difficult to understand or control.
You may notice:
-
intrusive thoughts or memories
-
difficulty concentrating
-
anxiety or feeling constantly on alert
-
trouble sleeping
-
feeling emotionally overwhelmed or shut down
-
difficulty trusting others
-
irritability or anger
-
feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships
-
avoiding people, places, or situations that bring up difficult memories
-
physical reactions when something reminds you of the past
Sometimes you know exactly where these responses come from. Other times, you may simply know that something does not feel right.
