Trauma can stem from various sources, such as bullying, abusive relationships, or workplace issues. It consists of distressing memories that trigger a trauma response. Much like a plant, trauma has roots (the initial experience) and branches (our interpretations and responses). These branches shape our self-perception, thoughts, emotions, and interactions with others. 🌱💔 Curious about how to address and heal from trauma?

💡 Learning moment! If a loved one or friend is experiencing a trauma response, it can be hard to know what to say or how to respond. Trauma responses have wide ranges in how they present and impact people and can vary from someone “zoning out” or not paying attention to having a panic attack and struggling to breathe and feel safe. Regardless of how a trauma response presents itself, it is important to be patient and understanding while allowing the person to express themselves how they choose to. You don't always need to give advice or have an answer for everything. Being a good listener and being present is a big help. Trauma responses can last from minutes to hours and their effects can last for days. Here are some tips on how to support your loved one in a trauma-informed way in the moment: #EndAbuseInSports #PTSD #AnxietyDisorders #TAOS #TheArmyOfSurvivors

It's crucial to know the difference between venting and trauma ☝️ 🧠 Venting is when you share your feelings or frustrations to release stress or seek advice. It's healthy and can strengthen relationships. Trauma dumping is when you unload your deep emotional wounds onto someone without their consent or ability to handle them. It can be overwhelming and harmful. We understand the importance of creating a safe space for everyone. Our therapists and counselors will help you navigate your emotions, whether you need to vent or process trauma. We listen with empathy and provide tools to cope and heal. 💙 Let's foster a culture of support and understanding. Next time you're feeling overwhelmed, remember the difference between venting and trauma dumping. Be there for others with compassion and respect.
