Sometimes it is difficult to know if there has been trauma from our past that we are still carrying. Many of us have experienced some kind of trauma in our lives, and it can be tough to tell what is hurting us and what isn’t. This post will explore three ways to help you figure out if you need help releasing past wounds. If you find that your memories are causing you pain, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

First, are you walking around with self-blame, guilt, and sadness a good portion of your day, and you just don’t know why?  Stuffed emotions can show up as harsh thoughts toward ourselves and others that can keep us from enjoying daily life.

Is there a thought that regularly pops into your head that you are not as good as others or that you don’t deserve good things?  You might have stuffed hurts from your past that made you feel less than others.

Next, are you sick a lot? Harsh memories and forgotten but undealt with trauma, can cause inflammation.  It might show up as stomach problems, pain, or muscle aches. Any chronic health issues may have an emotional component that should be explored.

Do you feel the need to escape?  Do you want to escape conflict, or your thoughts, or even day to day life? This might show up as food addictions, or the constant need to be on social media or watching TV, or wanting to sleep constantly. This usually means there is something hurting you that you are trying to not think about.

Even when you have no idea what the trauma could be, if you are seeing any of these symptoms of stuffed trauma, we can get to the root of it and find out where it is coming from.
