Have you ever experienced a sudden, traumatic event that completely upended your life? I recently went through a situation like this when a late night call forced my wife and I to abandon our plans and rush to the hospital. It felt like our lives were spinning out of control.
Instead of enjoying a relaxing drive through nature, we found ourselves in the midst of stressful chaos, forgetting to take care of ourselves along the way. The external events were overwhelming us and sending our bodies into shock. It was like taking an unexpected sharp turn on a freeway without any time to think or react. We were in trauma mode.
Even after we left the situation, we struggled to calm down and regain our composure. Traumas don’t just disappear as quickly as they arrive. The effects linger long after the triggering event is over.
If you’ve gone through something similar, you probably understand the feeling of being caught off guard and facing situations you never expected. It can be overwhelming and make you question your own emotions.
Recovering from a traumatic event presents its own challenges. Even after the worst is over, you might still feel on edge. Trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, difficulty concentrating – these are all signs that you’re still stuck in trauma mode. It’s an incredibly uncomfortable place to be, constantly on high alert when all you want is to relax. And this can happen to both the person who cheated and the person who was betrayed. The stress impacts everyone involved, even if you don’t fully realize it.
That’s why I recommend watching the video “Overcoming Affair Trauma” if you’re feeling stuck in the trauma state. It’s a helpful guide that can assist you in returning to a sense of normalcy. When you’ve been in this state for a while, you need extra support to get back on track.
In this video, you’ll learn valuable strategies for reclaiming your pre-trauma self. It’s time to move forward and leave the upheaval behind.
Stay strong,
Jeff
