Trauma is an umbrella term covering our emotional response to terrible events like accidents, assaults, or natural disasters. There can be as many versions of trauma as there are people on this planet.<\/b><\/p>\n
Psychologists classify trauma by its severity, but for some, even the mildest of traumas can have devastating consequences. In most people, the initial response to trauma would be shock, numbness, confusion, anxiety, sadness, exhaustion, and more, not exactly in the same order. <\/p>\n
They say that time is the best healer. As days go by, most of the initial reactions to trauma will abate. Then comes the time for rumination, regrets, guilt, and self-reproach. As life moves ahead, the traumatic memories are pushed as far away into the back of the mind as possible. Often they end up in the subconscious as part of the shadow self<\/a>.<\/p>\n Out of sight doesn\u2019t always mean out of mind. From these obscure corners of the subconscious, these memories will continue to create troubles for you, without you even being aware of it. The shadow enjoys the protection of anonymity as it resides in the subconscious.<\/p>\n If you really want to free yourself from the torment of the trauma, you need to fish out those memories from the subconscious and make peace with them. Once these memories remain with the conscious mind, you know what you are dealing with. <\/p>\n You can accomplish all these and more with shadow work. <\/p>\n Shadow work journaling<\/a> can help you identify the traits and memories you once disowned or are ashamed of.
