“The pain was necessary in order to know the truth. But we don’t have to keep the pain alive in order to keep the truth alive.”
- Mark Nepo
Rachel Guenther teaches us all about Big T and Little T traumatic events as she compares “trauma” to a trash compactor—
Like we’ve pressed the button and shoved down all the garbage inside our bodies to create space to function— Eww.
But that at some point, our bodies (and souls) are going to need to clear out the unnecessary load we are hauling everywhere with us.
Dr. Skinner also adds how trauma changes how safe, or unsafe, we feel in our world. That when we are still in trauma, it’s harder for us to show up in relationships as a parent and as partner.
And how working through trauma is a gift we not only give to ourselves, but also to all the people around us...especially those most dear.
We also learn about the safe, advanced therapeutic processes used to release trauma from the body, such as EMDR and ART. And how these processes work to release the pain from the events stored inside our bodies.
Overall, the key takeaway is that after experiencing some of life’s most harrowing and unfair events, finding safety, trust and healing is very achievable with the right support and resources.
