When Pain Gets Stuck: Understanding True Trauma vs. Everyday Hardship

Send us a text

Trauma is often misunderstood and misused in everyday language, encompassing far more than just big, obvious events and including how our bodies and minds respond when pain gets stuck. We break down the difference between genuine trauma and everyday hardships, exploring how unresolved trauma manifests in our relationships, self-perception, and faith.

• Emotional neglect creates adults who struggle to trust their own emotions
• Conditional love in childhood leads to perfectionism and constant approval-seeking
• Comparison trauma teaches us to suppress authenticity and feel we must prove we belong
• Betrayal in relationships creates hypervigilance and fear of abandonment
• Trauma gets physically stuck in the body, changing how we operate until we address it
• Healing begins with acknowledging pain and understanding someone else's actions don't define your worth
• Setting boundaries is crucial after betrayal as trust must be earned
• Speaking truth over yourself breaks the cycle of negative self-talk

Join us next week as we continue this conversation about trauma and explore its physical impact on our bodies. Remember, Love is worth it, even in the hard.
