Trauma is a part of everyone’s life in one form or another. Not everyone has to go through the Big T traumas to have a trauma response. Maybe you didn’t make the basketball team in high school, which crushed you in your teenage years. Perhaps you had a best friend who died in a tragic car wreck when you were young.
Or maybe you grew up in a home with parents who had substance use disorder or maybe another mental condition that caused you to witness chaos and experience unpredictability.
Either way, unresolved trauma and the many different ways that it can manifest in our lives can cause chaos if left unchecked. The good news is that a trauma recovery coach can help you. Let’s take a look at five ways that a trauma recovery coach can help you live your best life.
1. Break Bad Habits and Cycles
Often, unresolved trauma can show itself in our lives in the form of addictions or unhealthy behaviors. So, a trauma recovery coach can help you to break these bad habits.
Assume you decided that you wanted to stop drinking altogether. A trauma recovery coach can help you work on the underlying trauma and offer you some tools that you can use to move on from the trauma.
Sometimes, we have what is known as generational trauma. Generational trauma is passed down to us through our DNA. So, for example, maybe one of your parents had a substance use disorder, and now you are struggling with your own addiction. This could be caused by trauma that was passed down to you and manifested itself in the form of your addiction.
A trauma recovery coach can help you learn to spot the signs of unhealed trauma so that you can begin to work on getting over it. Once you pinpoint the reason for the bad habits, you are much more equipped to break the cycle.
2. Help You To Overcome Toxic Interpersonal Relationships
Unresolved trauma can cause toxicity in our relationships. If we haven’t healed trauma, we may have unhealthy attachment styles. When we have unhealthy attachments, we allow people to treat us badly or just accept breadcrumbs.
So, a trauma recovery coach can help you break these patterns. They can help you take a look into your interpersonal relationships, see where you may be people-pleasing or putting up with abuse, and teach you ways to put a stop to it.
You may even have to walk away from certain relationships if you want to see real change.
3. Encourage You To Set Healthy Boundaries
Another way that a trauma recovery coach can help you with your life is by encouraging you to set healthy boundaries. Boundaries tell people what we will and won’t put up with and help us define who we are.
Trauma survivors sometimes haven’t grown into their own identity. Also, trauma can cause us not to trust anyone.
So, setting boundaries is challenging when you don’t think anyone will respect them. But setting boundaries is a good step in the direction of healing your trauma issues.
When you set healthy boundaries, you begin to express to others how you deserve to be treated. Setting boundaries can be difficult for some of us, so having a trauma recovery coach to talk about your feelings and show you how to set boundaries can be a great way to give yourself the boost you need to get started.
4. Help You To Manage Holistically
A trauma recovery coach who offers a focus on holistic health can help you manage your trauma in a holistic way. Holistic methods seek to work on the mind-body-spirit relationship.
Trauma can cause our emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical bodies to get out of balance. When these bodies are not in alignment, we can’t function at our most optimal level.
So, a trauma recovery coach can offer suggestions for working on these four bodies. For example, my UNLEASH method works on balancing the four energetic bodies with holistic practices like yoga, dance, movements, eating healthy, taking supplements, and exercises designed to help emotions flow freely and work on changing your mindset.
When we look at trauma and how it affects the whole person, we can break down how each section is affected and how we can get these energetic bodies to balance and maintain harmony so that we can be more fulfilled and less controlled by our trauma.
5. Work on Trauma That Has Been Passed Down
Finally, a trauma recovery coach can help to acknowledge the trauma that has been passed down from generation to generation. So, if your grandparents or parents went through a traumatic experience, it is still being expressed in your DNA. This trauma may manifest its way into your life in one way or another.
Have you heard of generational curses? Generational curses are simply generational traumas that have been passed down from generation to generation.
When you work with a trauma recovery coach to pinpoint this trauma and how it manifests in your life, you can begin to work through it.
The good news is when you find where this trauma is coming from in your life and work to break the chains it holds on you, you can help the next generation beat it, too.
Wouldn’t it feel nice to be the black sheep that broke the curses for everyone else?
