Navigating triggers around emotional shock and trauma
Description
Emotional shock hits all of us at one point or another doesn’t it and it can feel very jarring or jolting in your body, and mind.
It’s in those moments after we live through something hard or challenging, and we keep rationalising what happened, and telling ourselves to just ‘get over it’.
But we can’t snap out of feeling strange and unsettled, no matter how hard we try. We enter something often referred to as emotional shock, otherwise known as The Trauma response.
We can’t just easily snap out of it because we are triggered. We need some tools in our little life skills toolkit to move through the triggering event/s.
This is a huge topic at the moment (emotional shock and trauma) with many therapists & practitioners, and there is also new research coming out all the time around emotional shock and trauma which is very exciting.
