General principles of healing from trauma
Regardless of the specific medium, the core themes of healing from trauma and emotional pain are consistent across mental health experts and literature.
- Acknowledge and accept: The first step is to recognize the impact of a past trauma on your life. Your feelings, no matter how intense, are a normal response.
- Seek support: Isolation can hinder recovery. Talking with trusted friends, family, or a support group provides a safe space to process emotions. For persistent or severe symptoms, seek professional help from a therapist who specializes in trauma.
- Engage in self-care: Prioritizing your well-being helps manage the symptoms of trauma. This includes:
- Prioritizing sleep: Maintaining a regular sleep routine is crucial.
- Eating healthy meals: Proper nutrition helps restore physical and mental health.
- Exercising regularly: Movement can help release tension and improve mood.
- Practicing relaxation techniques: Mindful breathing, meditation, or yoga can help calm the nervous system.
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms: Avoid unhealthy strategies like using drugs or alcohol to numb the pain. Instead, find constructive outlets like journaling, creative expression, or engaging with your community through volunteering.
- Process memories with professional guidance: Therapy techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), or Somatic Therapy can be highly effective in helping you reframe painful experiences and release stored trauma from the body.
- Allow for a gradual process: Healing takes time and is not a linear process. Be patient and kind to yourself, celebrating small victories along the way.
