Trauma Doesn't Mean Broken: A Revolutionary Understanding
Trauma isn't what happens to us-it's how our bodies respond when experiences overwhelm our nervous system. When faced with overwhelming situations, our emergency coping mechanisms activate to save our lives. These survival responses-freezing, fighting, fleeing, or dissociating-are designed to protect us. While these mechanisms typically toggle off quickly, sometimes they remain activated, creating a persistent feedback loop where our nervous system perceives constant danger even when the threat has passed. Society perpetuates a harmful narrative that continued suffering indicates weakness or character flaws. This shame compounds trauma's effects by teaching people to avoid or deny their experiences rather than developing effective coping strategies. Many survivors internalize messages like "get over it" or "time heals all wounds," which leads to isolation and self-blame. The truth? Trauma responses aren't signs of weakness-they're evidence of our innate drive to survive. Think of it like a broken bone: it's not a sign of weakness but rather the body's appropriate response to excessive force. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it evolved to do-protect you at all costs. Modern neuroscience confirms this through brain imaging technology, showing how overwhelming experiences physically mark our nervous system, creating measurable changes in brain structure and function. Your trauma response is like an immune system that continues fighting after the threat has passed-not broken, just stuck in protection mode.
