The five facts about trauma and how to almost always heal

:

1. Trauma results in 1 of 3 people who experience a frightening event.

We have two nervous systems – the parasympathetic and sympathetic – the sypathetic system gives you messages of danger and the parasympathetic helps you calm down.

HOWEVER IF YOU IMAGINE, THINK OR PERHAPS IN REALITY, FACE DANGER (TO THE BRAIN,   AS INFORMATION TRANSFERS INTO EMOTION,  ALL THREE ARE THE SAME)

INSTEAD OF GETTING CALM WE CONTINUE TO BE IN HIGH ALERT

(When in high alert many of the physiological and mental processing systems change… from healthy digestion to pumping blood to the heart so we can run – from being able to process information logically to seeing danger so we can run😨🏃‍♂️)

3 As such it is obvious that either we need to leave the dangerous situation or if it isn’t dangerous anymore realize that we are safe (which may be difficult because fear is “the danger may reoccur”… which is a possibility.)


4 The solution to this problem was discussed by Rabbi Shneur Zalman, of Liadi in the Bible of Jewish mysticism, the Tanya. And effectively it’s best described with a story that once his grandson got upset at his wife and left… and so when the grandfather heard the reason he said, “I’m going to study with you an extra 2 hours a day!! So now, the cause of being upset will actually be a cause of joy.”

In other words if the issue is danger – than the solution is more safety! And as Religious Harvard Psychologist found in research, the study of “The Gateway To Trust in G-d”

Has a 5X better effect than anti-depressants!

By simply thanking G-d for all your blessings as soon as you wake up! –

By realizing that you are not a evolutionized Darwinain 🦧 but literally G-d placed in a body for a mission!

And when you figure it out and do it! you will feel on purpose!

(For much anxiety is created by not being aligned to our actual soul mission).

And by not participating in the secular media and insane ideologies that are self and community destructive!

Not to mention, studies show that watching the news produces anxiety and depression!

…You are going to be almost Guaranteed a complete healing.

5. Last but not least, it’s important to realize that everyone has gone through some sort of trauma.

Studies show everybody has been bullied.

And there is a certain silver lining to this because without anything to shake-up your mind,  as Jung says “there’s no birth of consciousness without pain,” so we would remain the children – in the illusions and fantasies that we grew up – and we would not be able to actually make a difference!

It’s like a child of a farmer who enjoys the fruit, but when he gets his own farm and then he needs to actually take responsibility and deal with the bank and plant the seeds 😢 but then he gets the joy☺️ the personal satisfaction of actually reaping the harvest 🎑

and so we should not expect life to only be pleasure.

Because life is the balance between inspirational moments… Hence, the secret of Judaism: you have, Shabbos, and Davening, and Torah☺️

and the 🥵

“Perspiration moments” such as work, and helping, and giving.
