Trauma can leave deep wounds that aren’t always visible. Sometimes, the effects of trauma linger long after the event has passed, impacting your thoughts, emotions, and daily life without you even realizing it. Unresolved trauma can make it hard to feel safe, connected, or in control.
Here are some common signs that you might be struggling with unresolved trauma:
Feeling constantly anxious, on edge, or easily startled
Experiencing flashbacks or intrusive memories
Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected from your feelings
Struggling with sleep issues such as insomnia or nightmares
Avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions or mood swings without clear reasons
Difficulty concentrating or feeling “foggy”
Chronic physical symptoms like headaches or stomach issues without a clear cause
