Dealing with TRAUMA TRIGGERS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2021
- Most of us are aware of the larger trauma triggers. We can recognize some of the people, places, and things that harmed us, and do our best to avoid them all. For example, if our trauma had something to do with the beach we can avoid any area with sand or any sounds of the beach. We can sit down with our therapist and make a list of all of the things that we know trigger our trauma response or bring us back to those frightening events. But what about the unconscious triggers? The ones we don't recognize, and often find upsetting us, pulling us into flashbacks and causing us to dissociate. Those are the ones I want to talk about today, the unconscious trauma triggers, and how we can identify them so they no longer harm us.

We are constantly taking in our environment, the sounds, scents, how the outside air feels on our skin. We are like sponges for sensation which can be great when it comes to enjoying ourselves and assessing our area for threat, but this can also make us more vulnerable to trauma triggers. Which brings me to one of the most common unconscious trauma triggers, scent. Over the years I have had patients report getting flashbacks or dissociating when in tight or busy spaces, and chalking it up to being around people they don't know. And while that may be the case, sometimes when we dig a little deeper we can find that a perfume or cologne worn by someone in their office or at that event was actually to blame for the upset. All of our other senses could be just as guilty for causing these trauma responses when we are out in the world living our life

Trauma is very tough. So I wish everyone with trauma good luck with recovery.
Something happened in my current relationship that reminded me of an emotionally abusive relationship, it caused me to go into a PTSD rage (screaming and yelling, crying and running around the streets). My partner is amazing and I feel like such a monster for having that reaction.
Just dealing with trauma, is a trauma for me in itself, trying to watch this video gave me a huge burst of anxiety
instead of "am I overreacting" I ask myself if this is an appropriate amount of anxiety for this? is this anger the right size for this issue? is this fear coming from something else?
Trauma is so complicated. Some things that seemed like they would have been my nightmare traumas never bothered me but other small t's added up to some nasty big T's.
The background music is hugely distractive. I can't focus on your words because of it
I appreciate your info, as usual Kati. However, I was hoping for in-the-moment advice on being triggered as well. Also, I found the music distracting, overstimulating, and annoying because I had to put a lot of effort into focusing on what you're saying.
The smell of beer on someone’s breath is triggering for me , I can’t even kiss my significant other while they’ve been drinking beer.
For anyone who is curious, the music is Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
I've had trauma in my life, and I believe most people have or will go through some kind of trauma in their lifetime. The best advice is to call out to JESUS for help and healing!
I'm in my 60s now and I've experienced extreme trauma since I was born, including sexual abuse by quite a few men AND women when I was a child!
I never realized that my trauma effected me as an adult until I started making a conscious effort to pay attention to how I react in situations that are actually or just perceived stress.
I have combat-related PTSD. The VA sent me to a 3-month long inpatient treatment for Cognitive Processing Therapy. That was so invaluable to helping me with managing my triggers.
This couldn’t come at a better time. I have had childhood traumas (junior school) and currently going through EMDR therapy. Thanx Kate x 🤗
I have social trauma, and it's really hard. I have trauma from being bullied and socially excluded/isolated in my youth, so I crave community, but being around people and in community can be very difficult because it has been triggering this trauma a lot. I don't know what to do about it.
I've recently started Somatic Experiencing therapy after being diagnosed with C-PTSD, and was amazed at how much better I felt after even one session. So helpful to hear you mention SE, Kati. Thank you!
This couldn't have come at a better time! I'm usually pretty aware when I have an emotional trauma trigger, but this inspired me to be more observant of when it happens unconsciously. Thanks for all you do Kati :)
I am constantly going through trauma from a past abusive relationship. Sometimes I find myself over sharing with others around me (co-workers, friends, family) about these events and in hindsight I always wish I would’ve kept it to myself. This video helped me better identify when I am leaking my own personal info, so thank you.
That’s right on time, I am having to deal with a trauma trigger right now (being treated like a child) and I’m just trying to figure it out and let it go out of my system so I can continue on with my day
