Video Transcript:
“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. It is one of the most common emotions in our society. Here are seven ways to get beyond overwhelmed!
1. Take a walk. Exercise clears our minds. It literally helps our minds rearrange thoughts and ideas in our minds, relieves stress, and releases happy hormones in our bodies.
2. Talk to someone. Just telling someone what we are experiencing can change everything. Even leaving a voicemail saying, “Hey, Just wanted to chat, feeling so overwhelmed today!” can be liberating.
3. Do. Delete. Delegate. Divide your to-do-list into these three categories. Divide and conquer. This will help you focus on what’s essential.
4. Tidy your space. Organizing your work or living space has a way of reorganizing our thoughts and feelings too.
5. Ask for help. It’s a sign of strength and genius, not a sign of weakness.
6. Cancel everything that is non-essential on your schedule for a day or two, or a week if that is what is required
7. Do something. Start doing something, don’t allow feeling overwhelmed to paralyze you. Inaction will only take you deeper into the overwhelmed state. Pick one thing on your to-do list and do it. It’s amazing how taking purposeful action can shift the momentum of your day.
We all get overwhelmed from time to time. This isn’t the last time it’s going to happen to you, but it is time to develop a strategy to deal with it.
In Part Two of this Series we will discuss 10 Things We Forget When We Feel Overwhelmed."

I have two tattoos. My first is a tribute to my family, a celebration not a trauma response. But the other I got after my husband died at age 58. It says, “I only miss you when I’m breathing.” So definitely a response to trauma. I’m 63 now and they bring me happiness and comfort.
Overwhelmed is the story of my life. I go outside when I have my panic attacks. Try to breathe deeply. And pray .
I have a tattoo of a wave on my wrist. Got it when I was 62 with my 4 daughters. For 3 of us it was our first tattoo. My other two daughters have many. We love the ocean and it was something to keep us together and smile when we look at them.
My mother used to tell me to actually make a "to do" list and check things off. It helps me be less overwhelmed as I see things getting eliminated from the list.
It also helps you to sleep when you've written down what you want to do the next day.
Thank you Matthew 🌺🌺🌺
I do not have a tattoo. I just have never wanted one, recognizing that once it's there, you can't easily change your mind and getting it removed is expensive and not easy. I have had trauma in my life (who hasn't), but not so devastating that I haven't been able to deal with it, and I've always had a strong support system in my family and God.
Just a few years ago I would have told you I would never get a tattoo and was not pleased when my daughters did so. Well, I turned 60 a week ago, on my birthday my three daughters and I each received a dragonfly tattoo. Each dragonfly is different and in a different place on our bodies. These were designed by my artistic middle daughter with inspiration & input from each of us.
Dragonflies were a favorite creature of my brother Kevin. He passed away unexpectantly, 5 years ago when he was only 49 years old. And yes, I would agree, losing a sibling is traumatic.
Now dragonflies often appear on special family occasions, like a reminder he is still with us. I lit a candle after mass for him shortly after he passed. That evening my yard was filled with literally 100s of dragonflies. And yes, I saw one on my birthday this year!
Thanks 🙏
I got my tattoo when I was 57, in Key West. I had planned to get one 10 years prior while in Maui but was influenced by the critical words of a male associate. He didn't know I was planning to get a tattoo. His critical/judgmental words of his feelings regarding women who get tattoos made me change my mind. 10 years later, I STILL WANTED a tattoo. I chose a compass with a key. I DO NOT AGREE WITH FREUD. Not in my case, at least. My tattoo has been admired and criticized. A sister-in-law called it disgusting... For me, however, it represents my courage and clarity in knowing my direction in life. It has a cross in the center. Always a reminder that Christ is forever my direction.
I have several tattoos. Most of them are an expression of my Catholic religion. I would not say that they express a trauma but more so a reminder of who I want to be & how I choose to live my life.
I did something! Online I tried to help a woman with two children to find shelter because they are trying to escape a domestic violence situation.
I do not have a tattoo. But when my sweet doggy Max, an Alaskan malamute part wolf passed away of cancer I was devastated. He was my everything. I was grateful that God gave him to me. He was gentle and kind and loving to everyone. At age 7 I found out he had melanoma cancer, put him through treatment five days a week for five weeks of radiation, and two years later it went to bone cancer five weeks after I discovered that he passed away. It was them that I thought about getting a tattoo and I would put it on the left side of my body because my heart is there right underneath my armpit, but right across from my chest I wanted to put his name with a Purple Heart. So yes, I do think it’s internal Trauma. Then I realized I didn’t need to do that. I just needed to allow myself as long as it needs to be to grieve for the loss of my sweet son. And yes he’s a dog but he was my son and I know what it’s like to have gone through having someone having cancer. I believe God brought us together for a reason and Max taught me so many lessons, and I am so grateful that I was his mama. Thank you Matthew for alway
s Helping us draw closer to our dear Sweet Lord
I do not have any tattoos, however I have many friends who do. I can understand and appreciate those that get them to honor someone or something that is very important to them. I try not to be judgemental, but, I have seen people whose whole bodies are covered in tattoos. I know it is considered an art form, and people are free to express themselves, perhaps to make a statement - besides being very expensive.
We have a young male friend, good-looking, friendly, etc., who had his whole body tattooed -top of his head to his feet. It did not change his personality or inner self, but, what changed was the way people looked at him and became very judgmental. Maybe, because I am in my fourth quarter of my life, I am not receptive to the "new ways" of the world. I'm happy with the old ways!
A great reminder - thank you
Thank you, Matthew. I went to the gym this morning. I don't go often enough but I made myself do it today.
I don’t have a tattoo, but my daughter did got one, in her mid teens, a miniature flower that by now, in her very late 30s has almost completely faded out.
Same may be said of piercings, I have 5; lower lobe when my parents divorced. I added additional upper lobe when I was divorced. I added an outer conch ring during an event during my Grandmother's passing.
I recently got a tattoo and it was to honor my dad who passed three years ago. It has elements of a tattoo that he got during WWII. Yes, I miss him terribly, but I don't think of his passing as trauma. It was such a blessing for him.
I have a small sunflower tattoo on my ankle...I got it right before I turned 30 about 25 years ago. I always heard that if you put a sunflower in a darkroom, then poked a small hole in the wall where light would shine, you would almost see the flower turn to the light! It's just my reminder to always try to find the light in every dark situation.
This is kind of crazy - I just got a tattoo a little over a week ago. My first and only. I am 49 years old. This tattoo is representative of SO MUCH for me. My mother passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was 3 years old. I am the youngest of 5. My tattoo is a double tulip. Twenty years ago before my husband and I got married we were at the cemetery and a tulip with 2 heads was blooming on her grave. It became so significant for me. It went on to symbolize other things over the years as well. I'd be happy to go into more detail. I have a picture of the actual flowers, another double headed tulip that I saw this year, and of course pictures of my tattoo.
I do have a few tattoos. They all have a meaning. All of them were done in joyful times. Most of my family have tattoos, and again done in a joyful way and time. I beleive if they have meaning and a great foundation, get them, otherwise don't.
I have a small tattoo of a cat with a halo. I got it after my cat, Angel, died. My daughter has several fun tattoos. Many people get tattoos has a result of trauma but some are just forms of self expression.
I don't have a tattoo but my husband, who recently passed away, got one after we lost our youngest son. The tattoo was on his wrist, a bracelet of shamrocks (My husband was Irish) with our son's name in the middle.
I have two tattoos. One is a cartoon lady bug and my IT team went together and got tattoos right after the 9/11 attacks. We said if we were going to die, we wanted some markings on our bodies for identification purposes. I chose a lady bug because they symbolize good luck.
My second tattoo is very recent and not at all trauma related. It’s my only granddaughter’s signature on the inside of my wrist. It makes me very happy to look at it.
I do have a tattoo and yes I did experience a trauma. My tattoo is the breast cancer ribbon with wings. It is on my right side just below my ribs. I had breast cancer and a bilateral mastectomy 13 years ago. I am a mother of 6 children and now a grandmother of 15. I am a devout Catholic and have been happily married for 40 years! God has blessed me abundantly! ♥️
I have several tattoos. I do not have them as a result of trauma. I have them to express beauty. I am an artist and all the work I have is an expression about a time in my life that were joyful.
I've got two. Neither is on public display. One is a small, horse's head that lives under my watch band. It's only for me, as a reminder of my horse who died at the age of 29 after we'd spent 25 years together. To some extent, I guess the trauma of his death motivated me. But it was more a celebration of his life. My other tattoo is a reminder of my many joyful trips to Rome. No trauma there at all. Just a reminder of happy memories and future joyful trips to come for me. I think tattoos often commemorate strong emotion, which can be grief/trauma or belonging/joy.
I don’t have a tattoo. I don’t like them but respect the ones that do.
I have two. The first one I got was an “homage” to someone I thought I loved. The relationship was a horrible mistake. I have since given it new meaning and can smile when I see it. The other is a combination of a memorial to my father and the celebration of the birth my only son.
I agree with Freud. I got my 2 tatoos after turning 55, in a year after my kids left for college and I was really processing trauma from 7 years prior. My 1st tatoo is a heart evolving into a cross, with the words “just breath”, a reminder that love and Jesus are the answer to processing the trauma, and reminding me to breath through the struggles. My second tatoo is of a dragonfly elegantly flying with water, depicting my evolution into a Christ Centered human with my favorite calming natural environment, water.
I have a tattoo, and I got it about 13 years ago. I’m now 60 years old. I got my bee tattoo as a symbol of community and the Blessed Mother after reading The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd. No trauma, all goodness!
I do have a tattoo and in my case it is the result of a trauma. My dad passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly and I was really struggling. I had never planned to get a tattoo but I felt like I needed the tattoo to keep him close to me. My tattoo is the word “dad” imbedded in a heart.
I have 2 tattoos. One when I was 66 and one at 67. Both are scripture. Proverbs 3:6 and Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. No trauma involved. Hopefully sharing my love for the LORD
I do not have a tattoo but many nieces/nephews do. One niece has a tattoo specifically surrounding loss of her father.
I do not have a tattoo. I have an aversion to doing anything “permanent” that I might regret later. I think Freud’s analysis makes sense.
I do not have a tattoo, but have considered getting one when my 27 year old son passed away. It would include his name and a catholic image of a cross or rosary.
I have 3 tattoes that I got 10 years apart. They are of things important to me, not trauma. One is baby harp seals, a cross over my heart with my children's names and dog prints around my wrist. (Did dog rescue for a number of years).
My three daughters all have them. I was always against them and did not allow them to have them when they lived at home. Some of their tattoos are the result of personal struggles and some are the result of accomplishments (running marathons, etc.) To their major disbelief, I (69 years old) got a tattoo of a semicolon on my inner wrist two years ago. This is a reminder of my sister who took who own life due to mental illness; my daughter who has schizophrenia; and my nephew who died of a drug overdose.
I have a tattoo on my ankle that I decided to get on my 40th birthday which was not a traumatic event for me. The tattoo is names of my three children circling around my ankle with a flower between each name.
48 yrs old female. Got my 1st in my 20’s (a flower) mostly bc I wanted one to be cool haha. And then my 2nd one I got on my 40th birthday weekend, an anchor with the monogram “CLC” in the center. My husband & I have names that begin with the letter C. We named both of our kids with a C as well. Our last name begins with an L. The anchor represents the Bible verse about God being our anchor & we also love boating. My husband does not have a tattoo & would never get one. His Dad used to tell him & his brothers that if they ever got one he would scrub it off their skin with a Brillo pad!
As a therapist a lot of my trauma clients have tattoos. I also have multiple traumas and tattoos. One example a heart around a butterfly with 2 small butterflies under it and a dragon fly. The butterfly represents me, the heart around it is me healing from a massive heart attack at age 35. The 2 small butterflies and dragon fly represent my children. I chose this because my children were deeply affected by my constant hospitalizations too. The tattoo represents them healing also. I also have cartoons that represent my loss of my childhood due to trauma.
I personally do not have a tattoo, but both my daughter and step-daughter do. I believe that they have them to identify something they feel internally and want to externalize it for some type of reminder.
I am 67 years old. I do not have a tattoo. When I was young, tattoos were not popular, like they are now. I think some people may get a tattoo in response to a trauma, but I believe there are many other reasons why a person may choose to get a tattoo.
Hi Matthew, First, thank you for your ministry. Second, I do not have a tattoo. I never considered getting one. The idea of painfully injecting something that is not medicine seems crazy to me. But, as I have been to beaches in the summer, I see that many people have tattoos and are unembarrassed to display them. I do not understand how I could make a decision about permanent body art when I was, say, 20, and not regret it when I was 40. Since I do not have tattoos, I guess I am disqualified from commenting on Sigmund Freud's opinion regarding tattoos.
I have 2 tattoos. Both were reminders of persevering through trauma. I don’t agree with Freud though. I think people also get tattoos to signify very joyful moments in life.
I do not have a tattoo. I thought that many were applied through peer pressure, the same way I began smoke when I was in school, but it was not common for our generation. I understand they cost a lost of money, so that would be a waste for me. From a faith standpoint I do not think we should be abusing our bodies.
My daughter has her Grandmother’s signature and butterflies . They is a story around the butterflies with her Grandmother. She watched her pass and felt the need to keep her close .
I don’t have a tattoo. I agree with Freud. But I also think that today” it’s cool” to have a tattoo .
Freud might be right. I gave a tattoo of 2 butterflies, purple, blue and they added a little pink. Butterflies to me means freedom and change. I'm 73 and got it about 12 years ago. I would get another but probably won't.
I do. I would say that one of my tattoos says, “For Pete’s Sake.” My dad, Pete, died in Nov of 2023 and I’ve been struggling with his death, especially the way he died. It was traumatic for my mom and me.
I think when someone loses someone (and that is internal trauma for many) they tattoo date or name on themself. Other than that I believe it is ternal trauma being tattooed on themselves to help them address their trauma....but others do for what reason I have no idea especially when half of your body is tattooed.
I dont have trama but i have one small tatoo. My sister, niece, daughter, granddaughter and i got matching tatoos. We wanted something small but meaningful that matched for all of us. Kinda like a family tatoo. It is a depiction of a mother with a child in her womb. We all got it on our inner wrist.
We are temples of the Holy Spirit. My mother (God rest her soul) told me “You don’t Spray paint a Temple!”
My son lost his best friend through a tragic accident and then got a tattoo as a rememberance of his friend. It may be of music that they shared but can’t tell you for sure. I need to ask him. This definitely was a result of internal suffering that he had so I would have to agree with Freud
💚💚💚
My son started tattooing himself in high school. His first tattoos were symbols of music and art. Later he tattooed his last name on his inner arm. Have to think about what that means! He also created a tattoo to represent his best friend who died as a young man.
My sister has a tattoo of angel wings on her wrist as a reminder of her son who died. I see the trauma in these but also symbols of love.
No I don't have a tattoo. Don't understand but agree people get them because of trauma in some cases
My son has one. I just think we have removed the stigma associated with tattoos in recent decades. I believe if the tattoo is meaningful to the person then maybe yes- not necessarily from trauma but some kind of deep thought process.
I have several tattoos. Most of them are of the three sisters I have lost. One is of The Maltese Cross. I am from Malta, and I miss it, and one is my husband name.
I have a tattoo of a dolphin because I love dolphins. I just wanted a tattoo on my ankle on my 27th birthday. No trauma behind it. I believe, however, many people are too judgmental of those people with tattoos even though it is becoming more commonplace these days.
I have 5 different tattoos and I think 2 of them are related to overcoming trauma but the others not so much.
My son lost a child to drowning 6 years ago. My son now has a tattoo that represents his son (image of his little bike). So I would say Freud was correct in this case.
I have 2 tattoos. One a butterfly on my left wrist. Number two a third eye on the back of my right shoulder. I have endured severe emotional physical and sexual trauma as a child. The butterfly is the thought that I can emerge from the trauma. The eye is the eye of God watching my back. The pain of getting the ratios was strangely confirming as I could not feel at the time!!!
I do have a tattoo, I have a wedding ring tattoo. I figured after 60 years of marriage, she was a keeper. Freud might have been right in his time, but today?
Collage students sometimes get tatoos to celebrate some event in their lives, like a challenge they met. I think tatoos express some strong opinion or feeling one wants to remember. It is an outward expression of inner feelings and/or memory. I do not have a tatoo, but I have been with many unitversity students who have gotten tatoos when I was with them abroad. It is an expression of inner self. Since people change every ten years or so, I think I should go into the tatoo removal business! I'm sure it is lucrative even now.
My son has one to honor his little brother who was killed in a car accident. My D-I-L has one with the date her brother died, but also one celebrating the birth of her daughters. My other son had a wedding ring tattoo because he almost lost his ring finger when his ring got smashed on his finger. I would not feel comfortable getting one myself.
I never thought I would see my husband with a tattoo. For us, we just got our first tattoo at 57 years old. It was something we planned and wanted to do together and we both got an anchor on the inside of our wrist. We love boats and water but for us it also means we are anchored in our faith and to each other. Getting a tattoo was not at all the result of some inner trauma so for me I would have to disagree with Freud and I believe my husband would disagree with Freud as well. I do know others however; who have gotten one because of a trauma and it is something that is a comfort to them of surviving. I believe that there is not one opinion that fits all.
I do have a tattoo but mine isn't a representation of an internal trauma. Mine is a combined heart and infinity symbol - a contrived symbol for infinite or unconditional love. My fiance and I got matching ones on our wrists. We wanted something that spoke to us and that represented our belief in God's love for us and the love He gave us for each other.
Hi, I do have a tattoo. It is a trinity knot with my son's name below and my daughter's initials inside the knot.
I lost my son to suicide almost 12 years ago. Although I had thought about getting a tattoo before
it was this tragedy that spurred me on. I waited for a year before getting the tattoo and I have never regretted it.
Everytime I look at it I pray that God have mercy on his soul and that Sean may be home in heaven asap. I guess in my case Freud was right.
I definitely do not agree with this, I have one tattoo and it has a very special meaning for the bond I have with my mom and my daughter.
I have a tattoo that reminds me to keep trying, keep going, not to let peoples treatment of me to keep me down. My other tattoos are of the people I love. Kids and grandkids. I am a women and just got all of these at the age of 59.
I have 2 tattoo's My first one is called my mothers tattoo. I have 2 roses with my daughter's names. The other is a small bear for my late husband.
I have three tattoos. Two are related to the death of our son at 16. The third for my other two daughters.
I don't have one. I am 70. Not sure I believe about the trauma and Freud(?).. A co worker had one very tiny delicate looking on her forehead near the hair line as if wearing a green wreath made of vine with a pink flower in the center. It was lovely. Because I can't decide what and where, I haven't got one.
I have two tattoos. The first one is a butterfly on my shoulder. I got that when my mother passed away. The second one is the word "always " on my left inner bicep. It's in my dad's handwriting directly from his birthday card to me. I did that tattoo after he passed away. I do have childhood trauma of sexual abuse, but don't see the connection to my tattoos.
My daughter at a young age at 18 started to get tattoos. She has about 15. She has experienced trauma.
I don't have any tattoos, often thought of getting one or more but always had a negative connotation to me. Always heard, "only bad people get tattoos." dumb I know.
I have several. Mostly Celtic. One is the camargue cross of Mary Magdalene . One commemorates my brother's life and death.
I don’t have a tattoo but it seems to me that persons that do just aren’t happy with their body the way God made it. Years ago there was a movie called the Illustrated Man with Rod Steiger who was covered with tattoos and he was a freak. Now it has become “normal.”
I have no tattoos and was not happy when my daughter, who is covered in them, got her first one at age 16 or 17. I feel it started out as a rebellion thing but since she has grown and is in her mid thirties I think it's for self expression. They are very pretty but not something I could do because 1) not in to pain of any kind and 2) I get skin infections really easily. Not worth me taking the risk.
I have 2 tattoos. Nothing traumatic, just representing my love of Disney ( one is the Disney castle, the other is Mary Poppins).
I personally do not have a tattoo but many people I know have them and reasons vary from trauma and a joyous occasion or a symbol of beliefs. If I were to get a tattoo it would be a symbol of my faith. I am concerned about what is in the Ink and do I want to inject it under my skin. Probably not. I'm 66
I have no tatoos and would never get one, however my granddaughters do and they really turn me off. Ond of them used to be the most gorgeous girl ever, and now she is covered with a snake, and other horrid things that I only can imagine why she put on her beautiful body. The other one is not so bad, and has only two rather large butterfllie, she says indicate hope. The both had a lot of "trauma' growing up with a neglecful but however loving mother. My husband and I did the raising of these wonderful girls, who will overcome, I am convinced. Please pray for all of us.
My husband has two.....the first is cause he got into some trouble and ask for God's forgiveness. It's a cross that says God forgive me. His second is on his arm of an Angel with a hamster. It's for our daughter who passed at age of 9 and her hamster pet shortly after. It has Daddy's girl in it with her signature. So yes I believe it trauma/hurt he experienced and his way of telling his story and keeping them close to him always.
I have multiple tats but I disagree with Freud. Most of mine are of beautiful times in my life-I have 1 for my children, 1 that symbolizes my heritage, 1 that represents my college womens fraternity (no we were not a solority) and some that are just for fun.
No tattoos. I cannot reconcile permanent markings of my skin with any excuse. Surgical scars are bad enough.
I don't have one but I believe I was made in GOD's image and I don't want to tarnish my body
I can't speak for others but, yes, my tattoo does reflect a trauma. My tattoo is a Celtic cross. I lost my son, Tom, at age 24. Tom embraced his Irish heritage and although I had been a vocal critic of tattoos, on the first anniversary of Tom's death getting the tattoo seemed the right thing to do.
I do not have tattoo. Not sure if I completrlt agree with Freud. I have contemplated getting tattoos over the years. Planned on getting one after the football state finals in 02. But we lost so I did not get one. See alot of broken people with tats. See alot of "normal" people with them too. Just being unquie like everybody else.
I personally don't have a tattoo. Why inflict pain into an already painful body.
My daughter has several small tattoos but one in particular is of a baby elephant with two hearts coming out of the trunk to represent the two babies she lost prematurely.
My grand daughter has several as her dad was in the military and they traveled all over so hers are representing the places they lived. She also has one which contains two, will be 3, different types of flowers and will have a total of 3 special says we as grandmothers always say to her. I am her only grandma left.
My son has an eagle on his whole back with his name and his wife's (though he never goes without a shirt, to express freedom.
In the formost tatoo cases id say it is inner grief being expressed,my son's is pride for his service to our country.
I'm not in favor of tattooing your body just cause it's an in thing, but it is their bodies to do with it as they please.
I do not have a tattoo.
I don't have a tattoo but my oldest daughter does. She has one of a hot air balloon on her Rib cage. Because Hot air balloon's use to fly over her grand parents house.
I have tattoos of my four beloved dogs that died. TRAUMA? There are no words that describe my anguish and despair.
Now my Marvel tattoos, no trauma associated with them, just stupidity.
I don't have a tattoo. I'm having been no family the tottoo. The daughter in law has a tattoo.
I don’t have a tattoo.
One modest tattoo hidden by normal clothing or a tattooed body including hands and face? Our goal in life is to love God and others and, to do that, we should follow God's expectations. To those with tattoos, please explain how this brings you closer to God. And how it inspires others to come closer to God. I do not have a tattoo nor does anyone in my immediate family.
I have two… one is a tribute to my children and the other is a tribute to Jesus. I don’t agree with Freud at all… my tattoos have nothing to do with trauma, they’re a symbolism for the greatest most permanent things in my life that I’d like to celebrate. My children will always by my children. My God will always be my god.
Don’t have a tattoo & will likely never get one. Tired of seeing people turning their God given gift into a billboard.
I do not have a tatoo. Why would anyone do something to their body that is very difficult to undo?? If you believe the body is a temple of God, why would you deface it? I tend to agree with Freud.
