🧠How Trauma Impacts the Brain
Some traumas are big and obvious, like:
🚨 Physical abuse
💔 Loss of a loved one
⚡ Car accidents or natural disasters
But trauma can also show up in less obvious ways, like:
💥 Constant conflict between parents
❌ Overly critical parents
⏳ Childhood without love, care or attention
These big T and little t traumas don’t just affect us temporarily — they change our brains and stay with us as we grow into adulthood.
Think about how this impacts:
💍 Marriages — unresolved trauma can affect how we communicate and trust in relationships
👶 Parenting — the way we were raised influences how we raise our own children
💼 Success and happiness — trauma can create internal blocks that make it harder to feel fulfilled or succeed in life
The good news? Healing is possible. 🧠✨
By focusing on nervous system regulation, helping our brain feel safe through therapy, mindfulness, inner child work, emotional processing, and cultivating safe relationships, we can rewire our brains.
It’s not about erasing the past, but learning to live fully in the present with the tools to feel safe, strong, and in control.
