Let's Talk - Is Your Trauma Mapping Out Your Future?

 This is a heavy topic and I hit on this a while back before. (Trauma-Spoken Word)

However, I want to circle back on it and open the floor for us to have a discussion on it. 

Most of us, if not all of us have gone through something in our childhood, teenage, or young adulthood lives that have either have us tip-toeing into our future or barreling towards it with no awareness. 

Trauma is something that I don't take lightly because I believe that it is something that can literally change the way a person thinks and act, therefore changing their course of life. 

Most time, especially in the black community, trauma can go untreated. 

It won't be talked about. It won't be treated. 

It won't even be identified. 

However, the way we would act and think and go about in our daily lives would display the reactions of what we have gone through in our past. 

Facing what we have been through before is harsh and very much painful. 

You're going to find yourself lonely and even diving into some form of depression while you try to work out your healing. 

It's not going to be a one-and-done thing. It's going to take a lot of tries and you're going to have a lot of relapses. 

But, that is what healing is and I promise you in the end it will all be worth it.

What I want to talk about today is, if you have noticed any of your day-to-day lives are heavily influenced by your past traumas.

Have you noticed that you suffer from anxiety more times than you should?

Or, do you feel like an angry person?

Do you lack accountability? Or, you are painfully aware and paranoid?

Are you scared of intimacy with your husband/wife?

Do you find yourself hypersexual within or without marriage?

Are you too quiet, like too afraid to even speak sometimes kind of way?

You rather avoid/run from standing up for yourself?

You lash out and call people outside of their names?

You ONLY display tough love?

Do you feel like abuse whether physical or verbal abuse is an act of love?

What is the mantra of your inside voice?

You don't have to state your trauma unless you want to do so, but I want you to take an evaluation of yourself today and see what you do that is odd to you because it might just stem from your trauma.
