The same is true for the human body. When overwhelmed with too much fear or danger during trauma, the body shuts down, which can help to explain the numb feeling that many describe after being part of a traumatic event. The physical and emotional reactions to trauma vary from person to person. There are a wide variety of responses that are considered to be normal.

Many times, the last thing someone who has witnessed a traumatic event wants to do it talk about it, and describe what they saw and how they felt, but it’s an important part of healing. McGrath explains that by telling the story, people can begin to let go of their anxiety and distress, and associate it instead with the memory of the event. This method doesn’t work for everyone. For some, talking about it is too much to handle. Feelings can also be expressed through writing or drawing.]]> 2018-03-23 14:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245491760 https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245493015 If you overload an electrical system with too much energy and too much stimulation ,the circuit breaker activates and shuts everything down]]> 2018-03-23 14:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245493015 https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245493321 Taking action after trauma restores a sense of control to counteract the feeling of helplessness that many experience after a traumatic event. Constructive action can come in the form of writing a thank-you letter to rescue workers, donating to a charity, sending a card to loved ones, collecting supplies for the community, or anything else that feels empowering and is sure to make a difference. McGrath explains that no gesture is too small — Constructive action is about contributing something and getting back into the swing of things]]> 2018-03-23 14:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245493321 https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245495822 It may be impossible to see at the time, but a traumatic experience can be used as an opportunity to learn and grow. Work through the hard parts to find the meaning of the difficult experience. Reach out to others who have a similar story to help them overcome their pain and share in their growth; there are many support groups available. Engaging in the process of recovery can bring about strength and growth. People may even find a new meaning in their lives, or a new goal or purpose. Those at this stage may experience a new appreciation for life and their loved ones.]]> 2018-03-23 14:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245495822 https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245499310 To dispel the feelings of distress attached to their memories]]> 2018-03-23 14:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245499310 https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245504370 2018-03-23 15:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jamanning/Trauma/wish/245504370
