Unprocessed trauma can
result from any event that makes someone feel threatened or in danger.
Symptoms of
unprocessed trauma often emerge in disruptive physical, emotional, or
psychological symptoms.
Trauma imprints
That’s the imprint of
trauma: an event makes you feel threatened or in danger and overwhelms you with
panic and fear.
It doesn’t matter if
the danger is real or imagined. The feelings left behind by trauma won’t be
reasoned with. Trauma is immune to logic.
Symptoms of unprocessed trauma frequently
emerge as:
Physical symptoms:
heart palpitations, sweating, or shaking
Emotional symptoms:
panic, feeling trapped or terrified
Psychological
symptoms: avoidance of situations that trigger the trauma
