Trauma can create a heavy burden of shame, leading to behaviors that disconnect us from ourselves and others: 🔹 Hiding from self through addiction, seeking relief or escape. 🔹 Attacking self with negative self-talk, guilt, or depression. 🔹 Attacking others with aggression or misplaced anger. 🔹 Hiding from others by isolating to avoid judgment or vulnerability. 💡 Breaking the cycle starts with awareness. Therapy can help you process the trauma, confront shame, and rebuild self-compassion. 🌱 Healing is possible. You don’t have to carry this alone. 💬 Which step feels the hardest to face? Let’s start the conversation below. #traumahealing #shamerecovery #emotionalhealing #mentalhealthmatters #therapyfortrauma #bipocmentalhealth #selfcompassionjourney #healingispossible #mentalhealthsupport #traumaawareness #healingjourney #blackmentalhealth #indigenousmentalhealth #latinxmentalhealth #holistictherapy #mindfulhealing #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #innerhealing #recoveryjourney #emotionalresilience #wellnessjourney

Addiction is often misunderstood. It's not simply a weakness or a lack of willpower, but a CRY FOR HELP, a signal that a deeper need is going unmet. The addictive behavior itself is merely a symptom, a misguided attempt to cope with underlying pain, trauma, or an inability to cope with life's challenges. True healing comes not from focusing on the behavior, but from addressing these root causes. By shifting our attention to the underlying needs – the emotional voids, the unhealed wounds, the unmet desires – we can empower individuals to take control of their lives and find lasting recovery. This approach fosters holistic healing, promotes personal growth, and allows individuals to create a more fulfilling life beyond the grip of addiction. #addiction #recovery #mentalhealth #compassion #empathy #harmreduction #substanceabuse #trauma #healing #perspective #support #endthestigma #recoveryispossible #youarenotalone #breakthestigma #rootcause #holistichealing #personalgrowth

Any type of addiction is often a sign of unresolved trauma. What does unresolved trauma mean? It means where you have experienced events and you didn't feel safe and your brain has assessed your environment and continues to feel unsafe (even if rationally you know it is). If that happens your brain will search for ways to make you feel better. Becoming addicted to something is a common way for a traumatised brain to try and feel better and numb painful emotions. If you know you are dependant on a substance to get through life and you want that to be different direct message me and I can see if my therapy can help.

Trauma triggers can produce feelings of sadness, shame, or stress. These feelings may lead a person to engage in addictive or destructive behaviors like addiction to substance, self-harm or eating disorders. Unresolved trauma can wreak havoc on one’s life. By concentrating on what's happening in your body, you can release pent-up trauma. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps you process and evaluate your thoughts and feelings about a trauma so you can release it. #traumahealing will set you free from the shackles of pain and suffering. #mentalhealth #selfacceptance #mandyleecognitivecoach #spiritualgrowth #selfworth #empowerment #cognitivecoaching www.mandylee.co.za
