How do I recover from trauma? Trauma (τραύμα) is the Greek word for wound. And it means that at some point in the past we have been wounded. And that wound is continuing to have psychological, emotional and sometimes also physical effects upon us.
How to recover from trauma? It’s important to, using a physical analogy, open up the wound, to look at what happened. What was life like before the wound? What then happened? In precise detail. What happened? Moment by moment. What did I feel? What did I think? What did I do? What effects did this have on me? During. And after. In a sense, to thoroughly clean out the wound. Understand it. Make sense of it. Let It go.
That’s how to recover from trauma.
