Coping with a traumatic Event
💔 Coping with a Traumatic Event
You’re Not Alone 🌈
Hey friend. If you’ve been through something really hard—a traumatic event—you might still be feeling shocked, sad, anxious, or totally overwhelmed. 💥 Maybe your world feels upside down, and you’re not sure what to do next.
Please know this: You are not broken. You are human. And healing is possible. 🌱
🌪️ What Is Trauma, Anyway?
Trauma happens when something scary, painful, or overwhelming happens and your mind and body don’t know how to handle it. It could be:
A car accident 🚗💥
A breakup or heartbreak 💔
The loss of someone you love 😢
Abuse, neglect, or bullying 🙁
A big life change like divorce or moving 🧳
A natural disaster 🌊
Witnessing something violent or scary
Or even something others think is “small” but hit you really hard
No trauma is “too big” or “too small” to deserve care. If it hurt you, it matters. 💛
🧠 How Trauma Affects You
After trauma, you might feel:
Anxious or jumpy 😬
Numb or disconnected 🫥
Angry or sad 😢
Like it’s hard to trust people
Trouble sleeping or concentrating 😴🌀
These are normal reactions to something not normal. You’re doing your best—and that’s enough.
