Impacts of Unresolved Trauma

While addressing unresolved trauma can be a scary thought, one should consider the impact of not addressing their trauma adequately. For many, the idea of speaking with a therapist about their unresolved trauma seems like an impossible thing to do, however it will only benefit our lives in the best way possible.

When we as humans do not heal from or acknowledge our trauma it is kept within the body and has a significant impact on our day to day functioning. You may be thinking to yourself this is untrue, however science has proven the body remembers trauma. Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, and addiction are a few of the more known results of unresolved trauma.

There are a plethora of responses the body will endure if trauma is continually disregarded. Sleeping too much or too little, eating disorders, becoming detached from those we love, feelings of deep shame, and unexplained fears can develop as well. In addition, hyper vigilance, suicidal ideation, self-harm, feelings of extreme anger, and dissociation can occur as well.

Do not let the fear of speaking with a therapist about your trauma impact your daily life and relationships with those that you love.
