Identifying Emotional Trauma
The first step in understanding how to recover from emotional trauma is identifying what emotional trauma actually is. By definition, emotional trauma is a psychological response to an extremely distressing event or series of events.
Recognizing emotional trauma can be challenging due to its unique impact on everyone. However, there are common symptoms including feelings of distress, continued and ongoing feelings of threat, and difficulty in coping or functioning normally.
The Importance of Trauma-Informed Education
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
That's also true for emotional trauma recovery. Trauma-informed education plays a pivotal role in this process because it equips those seeking recovery and those seeking professional training to deal with emotional trauma effectively. This branch of education does more than provide information; it trains the individual to understand, empathize and cope with emotional trauma.
Steps to Recover from Emotional Trauma
Recovery from emotional trauma isn't a linear process and varies from person to person. However, some common steps can significantly contribute to the recovery journey:
-
Understanding the trauma: Being aware of what caused the emotional trauma often aids in processing it.
-
Seeking professional guidance: Emotional trauma is severe and consulting a professional therapist or counselor can provide the necessary help.
-
Self-care: Practices such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule can help manage emotional trauma.
-
Utilizing self-help tools: Journal writing, mindfulness practices, and meditation can be beneficial for processing trauma.
-
Connect with supportive networks: Friends, family, or dedicated support groups offer emotional reassurance that can assist the healing process.
Techniques and Practices for Trauma Recovery
Alongside the aforementioned steps, certain techniques and practice can expedite emotional trauma recovery. These include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A time-sensitive therapy that aids in recognizing and altering thought patterns leading to trauma reaction.
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): A psychotherapy treatment aiming at reducing distress associated with traumatic memories.
