Recognizing When Hijackal Drama Turns to Trauma

Do you allow yourself to acknowledge that you've been traumatized, or may have been? It's an essential beginning step for understanding why you feel a certain way, or have a particularly negative view of yourself. Emotional abuse can definitely create trauma within you. In this episode, you'll hear very specific information about trauma and how the body takes it in. When you are traumatized, you often have diminished ability to describe the feelings you have in words. You need to be able to do that to recover. Freezing and/or collapsing are ways to protect yourself by shutting down. You need to overcome the overwhelm of that...and that takes time, help, and support. You will have experienced emotional abuse, and perhaps, verbal abuse, financial abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse, too. All can be traumatic. Toxic relationships traffic in emotional abuse, especially toxic relationships that last a long time, such as the parent-child relationship or a long-term romantic relationship that is based on fear, isolation, control, manipulation, and a determined effort to make you feel powerless. Trauma hits you when you have observed or experienced a deeply distressing and/or disturbing incident. You can become too overwhelmed to cope, and may feel helpless and/or powerless. Your sense of self is diminished and your ability to feel all your emotions may be suppressed and impaired. That can reinforce the emotional abuse.
