Trauma is a part of life that is almost unavoidable. People process trauma differently. Some get over it fast, while others have a tough time processing their emotions and are easily overwhelmed by the influx of emotions they feel at once.
Trauma can be triggered by a series of bad events, or even just one event. However, the impact of trauma can be so intense that it could ruin all that we have worked so hard to build.
We all process trauma differently
Some people openly grieve, while others are perfect at hiding their grief and would rather suffer in silence than communicate and get help. Regardless of which class of people you belong to, you cannot keep your pain away from the knowledge of the divine realm. They see and hear all your thoughts, words, and actions. And, your welfare is their major priority.
Now the presence of this dragonfly in your time of trauma has so many significances. It, first of all, reminds and assures you that you are not alone. Your spirit guardians want to offer you comfort and solace, but because of the physical breaches, they are unable to reach you and give you all the hugs that you need.
Secondly, remember how we discussed that the dragonfly is a symbol of rebirth and transformation? The divine realm wants you to draw inspiration from this.
No matter how dreary our current situation may be, we should consider this as a mere phase that we shall emerge from. They want us to brace up and be victorious just like the dragonfly is at the end of each life phase that it experiences.
Last but not least, the divine realm wants to remind us that we possess the zeal, strength, and willpower to shake off this grief that seems to overwhelm us. We only have to look within ourselves and tap from our energy source. We possess as much resilience as the divine realm does, we only fail to realize this.
Talk about your feelings
Talking about your feelings to others is a great step to unburdening your mind. Once you're open enough to communicate your feelings, it shows that you have already begun the healing process.
Join therapy groups that allow you to vent your emotions healthily. Or, you could simply find a close friend to confide in if your issues are confidential. Research has shown that when you talk about your emotions, you gradually reduce their intensity. And, with time, you'd notice you are no longer affected by them.
Talking about your emotions can also help you process them healthily. You can help yourself break out of negative thinking patterns and develop emotional awareness.
Connect with more people
Identify people you care about and surround yourself with them. You have a better chance of getting over your grief quickly if you are shown love and care.
You can ask these loved ones to help you with other chores and tasks so you can have sufficient time to meditate and process your emotions.
If your trauma is interfering in your interactions or relationships with people, be sure to communicate this as well. Let them know that you are not being intentionally cranky and ask them to be kind enough to tolerate you.
Be patient with yourself
As we mentioned earlier, people process trauma differently. This is why there is no given duration for mental recovery. Do not try to hasten the process, or else you might fall into a deeper state of depression. Just take things one step at a time; heal at your own pace.
Give yourself time to mourn your losses and adjust to the void created by these losses. You'd begin to notice how your symptoms are dissolving with time.
Show yourself love and care
Now is the time to give yourself the ultimate baby girl/baby boy treatment. If you cannot be surrounded by those who love you, it's up to you to take up that role.
Consider your recovery a project that needs maximum devotion and consistency. Try out things you've always wanted to. Feed yourself till you can no longer breathe (just kidding, we only mean you should eat well).
Don't forget to exercise. Science says that exercise can rid your mind of negative emotions, so go out and sign up for that gym membership.
