ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
Others ways do remove trauma stored in the body (read How To Release Trauma From The Body 1). Providing you with mental stability, a regulated nervous system and an overall healthier life. The body is a temple, carrying you through this life as best it can. Treat it with respect and allow yourself freedom. Speak up, find people who make you feel safe, don’t minimize your feelings to please others. Life’s too short for painful living. Via: Printed_Tree
Trauma is stored in your body. When I first got into meditation, which focuses on the breath and connecting to the soul, I’d find myself in tears from repressed memories. Literally out of nowhere, things I’d forgotten surfaced to be removed from the energetic body (points 1 and 3). Yoga does the same thing, falling under point number 4. Completely releasing tension when done regularly. Areas like the hips, shoulders, lower back and neck carry a lot of emotional weight. Definitely worth it. Via: Printed_Tree
And the rest will follow.
One of the most life alerting things I’ve ever done in this world is loosen my spine through back-bending yoga. It happened quite by accident actually. I simply chose a yoga video I wanted to do, which turned out to be a heart opening sequence, requiring a lot of poses that open up the back (camel, locust, wheel). Immediately noticing the difference in flexibility I started actively searching for them.
My chest, shoulders, and neck became stiff free. An issue that’s plagued me for years. I couldn’t believe the mobility I’d attained through these exercises. There were days when I couldn’t turn my neck left or right without intense pain. Completely unaware of how much tension I carried in those places. A burden lifted.
The spine is the literal backbone of your body, take care of it and watch how other parts fall into place. Now I can realign without the help of a professional. I’ve never felt better. Do you know how enslaved you are by tension, negative energy, and trauma stored in your temple when you don’t do yoga? Via: Praze Magazine

Trauma and healing rewires the brain. Evaluating where you are mentally and emotionally is critical to self-care, which is health care. As someone diagnosed with PTSD due to extensive abuse, I thought I’d be stuck in the eye of the storm for the rest of my life. Taking baby steps everyday has significantly decreased my tiggers and improved my overall well-being. Continuously acknowledging my truth, that I wasn’t better, meditation, exercise, especially yoga, journaling, breath work, walks in nature, ground me, relaxing my nervous system. Finding the right therapist, a black woman like myself, who aligned with my spiritual beliefs was a game changer.
Please remember you’re not damaged, you’re someone responding to what’s happened or happening to you. Oftentimes trauma is coupled with shame, not your burden to bear. You’re the victim, give yourself grace. Via: Dr.GillianOSheaBrown
Here are some ways to cope with and heal trauma, by rewiring your brain through behavioral modification. When you’re feeling triggered take a moment and choose to respond differently. Habits are built in 21 consecutive days, eventually you won’t think about it, automatically handling overwhelming situations better. Remember baby steps are everything. Focus on progress over perfection and celebrate even minuscule milestones. Via: Dr.GillianOSheaBrown
Treat yourself with some grace, trauma rewires the brain. After all we’re products of our environments and experiences. Being tortured for years I was no longer interested in the things I love, not as productive, and only able to handle a fraction of my usual activities. Sometimes I’d get upset with my new behavior, now I’m proud for having accomplished anything, pushing myself as best I could under the circumstances. Especially having a fried nervous system that prevented sleep, now I need more to heal and that’s okay. Sleep is a gift. Acknowledge your trauma and act accordingly. Via: Furthur_Coaching
This time last year I was at my wits, end down to my skin breaking out. Overwhelmed, overworked, taken advantage of, burnt out and abused terribly is an understatement. Currently I feel amazing after prioritizing my mental health, giving me a much needed life reset. I must admit managing my PTSD sans medication is no easy feat. I underestimated how it was affecting my day to day in every way, this disorder isn’t a joking matter. You have to actively work at combating your trauma. Feeling the best you can in healthy ways is of the upmost importance, life is too short and you deserve to enjoy it. Mental health matters, if you’re feeling spent don’t ignore it, trust me it compounds. Are you burnt out? Via:_Mindfully Fresh
If something is triggering you, one it’s not your fault. Being looped back into trauma can feel like failure, but healing isn’t linear. A single moment doesn’t erase all the others of progress. Don’t blame yourself, you’re doing the best you can!
Secondly, identify what it is that’s setting you off and remove, or confront it. Sometimes it’s an epiphany that you deal with head on. Other times it’s something that needs to be removed, like a person. My karmic is my trigger, conjuring up abuse from this life and our past ones. Not interacting with him, giving him any energy, has decreased my PTSD episodes enormously.
Lastly, ask for help. This is hard for me to do, but once I did, the energy shifted and I was able to take action. Acknowledging you need others feels like a fault, it’s not. Sometimes you’re too weak, or just don’t have the means, you need a support system. Humans are tribal beings, not islands, that’s how we surpassed all other homo species. Teamwork. Be it therapy, or any other means (writing, meditation, reiki etc…), getting help is healthy. Remember pride is what made the devil the devil. How do you handle trauma triggers?

Trauma, negativity, all of it gets stored in your physical and energetic (chakras, aura, soul) body. Pay attention to where you store the most tension, for me it’s my neck, shoulders, lower back and hamstrings. I also get very locked up in my sacral and root chakra. The PTSD episodes and flashbacks aren’t as often as they were since removing my ex.
Yin yoga is a good way to release pent up negativity. This was my introduction to the practice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICanFGTsW8c. I can’t believe how open, flexible, free my body is since getting into it. I’ll warn you Boho Beautiful is really intense, practice makes perfect though, the more you do it, the better you get. What’s stored in your body? Why? How do you release it? Via: Insight.Corner
Is healing your trauma.
Unbreak your own heart.
