Let\u2019s talk (gently!) about trauma, and how sometimes its\neffects are so different from what we might expect based on what we\u2019ve seen\nportrayed in the media. Often, PTSD is shown as someone having violent physical\nreactions such as flashbacks, tremors, or bursting into tears. While these are<\/em>\nsymptoms of severe PTSD, a lot of the time the way we react to the world around\nus in small, maybe unnoticeable ways, can be signs of dealing with trauma as\nwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I want to look at emotional regulation; the way we react intensely or negatively to seemingly innocuous events. When we face stress as an infant or child, our brain develops patterns to help us cope. An instance may be that if you suffered and survived a bad car accident, you might be irrationally wary of all machines, including the elevator at your work, forcing you to walk up way more stairs than anyone should deal with. This and other trauma responses may seem small in the moment, but they create illogically and potentially hindering reactions to situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this week\u2019s Daily Focus, I want to offer a few solutions for dealing with emotional dysregulation, ways to acknowledge your patterns of behavior and work to change them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMeditation is one of the best ways to look inside of yourself, and actively work to rewire your brain. Seeking answers when you\u2019re in a calm and safe state will allow you to look closely at the what of your behavior, if not the why.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today is a chance to look inward. If you\u2019re feeling stuck on\na choice or need direction that you can\u2019t seem to get from outside sources,\nit\u2019s time to go inside yourself instead. Sometimes you need to look at the hard\npieces of the truth, and where you really want to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe often use Tarot to answer our questions, but if we flip the script and allow Tarot to pose the question, then we are forced to look within ourselves to find the answer.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I talk a lot about the healing power of Tarot, and I want to\nreinforce the idea that you do not need to be psychic to benefit. Often, when\nwe read predictively, Tarot provides answers to us, things we didn\u2019t already\nknow. When we use Tarot as the question, we have to turn inward instead and\nlook for the answers among our own experiences and feelings. In this way, a\ncard that, when read predictively, indicates something negative, would only be\nasking you to look back into your past to examine a time when you experienced\nsomething negative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor those who are able, exercise is a great way to jump-start the parasympathetic nervous system and rewire the fight or flight response.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since becoming disabled, I have lost the ability to do most\nof the active things I once did. I have had to replace running with deep\nbreathing, but it works just as well to activate my body away from panic and\nback into itself. Just getting your blood circulating better can help stave off\nanxiety and panic, because your body has something more pressing to focus on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne of the best things you can do to understand your feelings and behaviors is journaling.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Journaling is a mixed bag for a lot of people, as it can be\nhard to feel you\u2019re being genuine and not performing. I urge you to do it\nanyway. If it helps, write it like a letter to yourself. Remember that this is just<\/em>\nfor you. And when you\u2019ve finished, close the book and leave the feeling there\nwith it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpending one-on-one time with friends, or anyone who really gets you is a great way to be reminded of how connections can ground us and make us feel more understood.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After a year of serious isolation, it can feel weird to jump\nback into social circles. If you\u2019re struggling with this and feeling isolated,\ntry reaching out to one trusted person, and taking it slowly. Often, when I am\nat my saddest and most antisocial, it can be a struggle to make myself\nreconnect. But it\u2019s worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeing understood and feeling connected is one of the most important things to us as humans. And good stories, in all their forms, have always been a way of reminding us that we\u2019re all cut from the same cloth, and facing the same innate challenges.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to feel connected to humanity is to take in stories. Maybe it’s books, movies, shows, or games, but whatever your poison of choice is\u2014we all want to hear stories of bravery and hope to remind us how strong we can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAbove all else, have hope for the future.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hope is the key. Hope is the light at the end of the tunnel. Whether you\u2019re engaging with stories, friends, or yourself, look toward the best possible future and imagine your ideal self in your ideal world\u2014and then do the work to get there. <\/p>\n\n\n You have a life purpose. Wondering what you\u2019re meant to do? You won\u2019t know until you get a life path reading<\/strong><\/a> with one of our talented life path psychics<\/strong><\/a>.
