Everyone talks about getting over trauma and PTSD. Obviously It’s not good to have all this baggage, But what exact behaviors do adults exhibit when suffering from trauma? (I.E. low self esteem from critical parents)
Edit: Follow up question, why are people who suffer from trauma more likely to develop drug addictions?
In: Biology
I think that you might not experienced childhood Ptsd until further in life when you are going to be confronted to an stressfull event or multiple events….then you going to have to figure out why you might have developed a toxic coping/defence mechanism.
For some people i guess coping with drugs alcohol to numb themselves inconsiouly from the present situation but it’s more due to further back trauma. Prone to Addiction these persons are because sometimes you just can’t figure out on your own that ‘the right now ‘ isn’t the problem,
But past trauma induced mechanism is the core problem of you abuse/addiction.
First step is to cut that shit off, then start to workout on the ptsd…some wait a long time before taking action because we all have to work, house, pay bills, take care of your friends and family.
Hope it helps ✌
