I have byen to serval rehabs and I think I have some good tools for dealing with addiction. The thing is that I think I have some traumas, that I am having a hard time dealing with… I have never gotten any treatment for these, and I don’t know how to deal with these. I am thinking that a lot of you in here also have some sort of traumas and have gotten some treatment for these.
So my question is, how do you deal with traumas? Assault, abusive and things in that category?
Great to hear that you have some good tools for addiction.
I don’t have experience of dealing with trauma, however I know lots of people here do. Use the search bar and try searching for trauma or PTSD and you might come up with some info and people whose experience you can relate to.
It may be that therapy is the way to go - I don’t know where in the world you are and what kind of access you have to support. Something to think about though.
It takes a lot of courage to work through trauma. A lot of courage, patient, forgiveness, and an excellent support system!
What was the most beneficial for me was 1.) Getting a proper diagnosis 2.) Finding a therapist who specializes in trauma disorders 3.) Work the program, even when I thought I couldnt go on.
I say it over and over again, perhaps I will amend it a bit, learn to be kind to yourself. You are trying your best to survive; and when it is time, you will begin to thrive.
