How do you know if you're carrying unresolved trauma?
Sometimes it is difficult to know if there has been trauma from our past that we are still carrying. Many of us have experienced some kind of trauma in our lives, and it can be tough to tell what is hurting us and what isn't. This post will explore three ways to help you figure out if you need help releasing past wounds. If you find that your memories are causing you pain, don't hesitate to reach out for help.

First, are you walking around with self-blame, guilt, and sadness a good portion of your day, and you just don't know why?  Stuffed emotions can show up as harsh thoughts toward ourselves and others that can keep us from enjoying daily life.
Is there a thought that regularly pops into your head that you are not as good as others or that you don't deserve good things?  You might have stuffed hurts from your past that made you feel less than others.

Next, are you sick a lot? Harsh memories and forgotten but undealt with trauma, can cause inflammation.  It might show up as stomach problems, pain, or muscle aches. Any chronic health issues may have an emotional component that should be explored.

Do you feel the need to escape?  Do you want to escape conflict, or your thoughts, or even day to day life? This might show up as food addictions, or the constant need to be on social media or watching TV, or wanting to sleep constantly. This usually means there is something hurting you that you are trying to not think about.

Even when you have no idea what the trauma could be, if you are seeing any of these symptoms of stuffed trauma, we can get to the root of it and find out where it is coming from.

I thought I was a horrible person...

 
Everything made me so angry inside and I couldn’t stop the screaming rages. I could hear myself say, “Just STOP!” in the middle of a fit, but I was helpless to shut my mouth. I felt like I was watching a different person react, but it was me! After a day of raging I would lay in bed hearing, “You should just shoot yourself, you’re ruining your children,” over and over in my head.

My children were afraid of me, one was cutting, one kept running away. I knew it was my fault, but I couldn’t seem to admit it. I couldn’t handle anymore guilt.


Everything seemed to cause stress, nothing was peaceful, the smallest thing would send me to my room to hide. The asthma I had since I was a little girl, that was so horrible I felt like my lungs were going to explode, was magnified by the stress and rages.

When I knew it couldn’t handle any more, it got worse. I started having miscarriages, I became allergic to everything, I was always wheezing, I had constant headaches, and all I had the energy to do was sleep.

I was sure my situation just needed more prayer, so I prayed and prayed, went to counseling, went through deliverance, but I only ended up feeling even more guilt, because I wasn’t getting better.
Then one day I began to see a connection…. when I’d eat or smell certain things I would lose control afterwards. I noticed a pattern between stressful situations and being too tired to leave my bed. I finally saw that I had been living with severe adrenal fatigue for most of my motherhood. I also realized that I had been deeply wounded by things in my childhood that I didn't even remember clearly.
It was a journey of trial and error, learning exactly what had been poisoning my body and mind every day, but gradually I discovered tools and strategies that helped me make huge strides in calming the drama in my home and heart. I learned to overcome the wounds and trauma, I learned to shut down the lies.
As my adrenals healed and my heart healed from past trauma, the suicide, depression, and asthma disappeared, and energy came back. I didn’t feel trapped inside a rampaging maniac, I felt peaceful for the first time!

I wake up now content about the day to come. I’m not worried that I’ll ruin someone’s life today! In fact, I spend my days helping others find freedom, healing, and JOY!

You are not alone, and you don’t have to feel trapped by your past, by lies you've believed, or even by physical issues like adrenal fatigue! There is a simple path to peace. If you are ready to begin, contact me!
