If you have experienced a difficult or terrifying life event, you might not realize it, but you may be suffering from trauma. Trauma is an emotional response to an experience, such a violent act, the death of a loved one, or a natural disaster. Trauma can lead to chronic fear, anxiety, feelings of powerlessness, difficulty trusting others, a sense of being in constant danger, and feeling like you’re numb inside.
It’s estimated that 41 million emergency room visits each year are related to some form of trauma. The pain you feel is real, often expressing itself through:
- Muscle Tension
- Fatigue
- Restlessness
- Higher blood pressure.
- You find that it’s harder and harder to concentrate.
- You feel disconnected from your family and friends.
- Seemingly insignificant things startle you.
- You’re becoming more easily agitated by routine tasks.
