Cycle 3 Trauma Support
Nobody Understands Me
C3 Session 22 - Nobody Understands Me
Key Questions
WHO are you waiting for to change before you become fully content with life?
WHAT about the results of a traumatic experience are you finding it hard to let go of?
WHERE do you feel misunderstood most?
WHY can a new way of living make a person feel uncomfortable?
WHEN you think of being an emotional victim, how does that make you feel?
HOW can you develop a healthy middle/neutral ground between your thoughts and emotions?
Self-Reflection Point
When pain is all you know and you are having a hard time functioning without it, take baby steps. Let go of one thing at a time. Each day, replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
Are you stuck (non-productive) waiting for someone else to change? How long are you willing to wait? Think of a time or something you can control. Don't get stuck waiting on someone else's behaviors, you are not in control of them.
Have you allowed someone else's behaviors to change or determine how you value and treat others? Regain your control by updating your V.E.S.P.M. beliefs into new and healthy ones.
Sometimes being the "damsel in distress" gives people who have experienced trauma a sense of power and control. For example; you will begin to think that people will see that you need help and be forced to help you. What you are doing is waiting on others to determine your moves and mood.
Forgiveness doesn't mean you don't set boundaries for yourself and others. It just means you stop feeding the hurt and begin to focus your attention on more important things such as love and purpose.
