How To Understand PTSD Trauma Triggers: Trauma Inducing Things | Psychotherapy Crash Course

In this video I discuss the importance of understanding what triggers your symptoms of PTSD as well as other trauma symptoms. In order to fully progress and heal from trauma you must be aware of the "trauma-inducing things" that holds you back or at least regressing you to a previous state of functionality.

Treatment for trauma and PTSD symptoms often includes psychotherpay, medical treatment, and sometimes neurological examinations and treatments. But what a lot of people fail to realize is that their environment has a great deal to do with how effective these evidenced-based treatments will be. Having the wrong people in your environment or life during a time of recovery or during a time in which you have begun to live life in a healthy fashion again is working against yourself.

An important component of treatment is ensuring your PTSD and other trauma symptoms won't be triggered by small triggers in your life.

Wow, it's like touching base with you everytime I press the screen button, just can't believe where all this journey has been & where it's going, thanks for sharing much appreciated blessings

[ellakennickell]

Every Single One of those situations applied simultaneously in my family that I'm trying to keep away from/no contact. It was as horrible and infinitely painful as it sounds. During this current respite after over 30 years of toxic abuse, I finally get to see it for what it is/was now that I'm out from under their crazy-making, thanks to your videos that have shown me clarity and provided some much needed affirmation and validation. Thank you for helping me, and all of us - as I see that unfortunately there are many who've suffered similarly.

had a friend that was upset about something i said. this triggered a severe shaming spiral for several months in me. after i apologized, i had to stay away from her b/c of it. took months to spend time with her again.... and of course i was walking on eggshells. talk about exhausting!

[thinkagainsubliminal]

Genuinely the most helpful video on the topic on YouTube 💙

[leahdy]

I have regressed recently. Or should I say, I recognized that I regressed. I never healed. But, recently, writing my job and have been out of state in a hotel. I don’t even walk outside most days because people here, I just don’t trust. I don’t want to speak to people here so I hide. I’ve been here almost 4 months and have regressed SO much. I love your videos. So helpful!

[reginaldnichols]

Important topic to discuss. Thanks for being a great resource!

[celebrityfaceoff]

Thank you for Video Ma'am, I learned a lot from this Video today because i already experience those things today.

Hello Tamra, Thank you for your words. You have given me some confirmation and validation this morning. Bless I am homeless, in the home temporarily with a person who activates all of my triggers. I was living in the street no I'd. Clothing, money or phone 6 months ago, and I refuse to go back to streets. Please pray 4 me, and keep up the good work. Annette Frazier 👍

[tammyjames]

Thank you so much for this video. I am not crazy.

[truthutoda]

I love this!! Thank you. I needed this because this very thing happens to my husband every family engagement. He always feels stuck.

Can you talk about growing up under sick parents?

[lenny]

Tamara, thank you for this video! Have you touched on ways we can work through our PTSD triggers without giving the abuser the "proof" we are what they tell others we are by our triggered response behaviors. I know that intentions are the difference between abuse and abuse trigger response however for those on the outside looking in all they see is the behavior. PTSD response to abuse never looks healthy. Any suggestions on how we can deal and cope?

[dwayneneckles]

Man, I’ll be honest I had an invalidating experience for most of life. Family friends ...When folks see you are don’t speak up they take advantage. But my role was to keep trusting those people since my parents were the first ones to invalidate me. I guess I thought it was normal at that point. It’s affectiving my career now but I’m working on it. just curious speaking of trauma what are your thoughts on emdr?

Thanks for the video. You described my life to a tee. I had to cut off everybody and reintroduce myself to society slowly.

I'm highly susceptible to burnout, and for a long time I kept taking jobs in a field that has a massive burnout rate. Because I was too stubborn is what I kept telling myself, but that was not the reason: fear of "disappointing" my mother. Literal fear. So I keep giving 100%, all the time until the inevitable happens: you get sick and still go to work because "oh a stupid cold won't stop me", not taking good care of myself. Having nightmares, waking up in pools of sweat because the fear is that real. Eventually the same thing happens over and over again: body just shuts down until you are a quivering mess of tears. Until I felt strong enough again and cycle repeats itself over the course of the years.
I think that is my trauma response.
But I noticed the cycle speeds up over the years too.
So I had to make a conscious decision to not work anymore, at least not in that field. And luckily I have a very patient husband, who secretly loves having me at home because that wasn't an option in my field of work, long hours and always working when others are not.

[jackaroni]

Wow, oh no, this literally sounds like my entire household lol

[vapidculture]

Does schema therapy work for PTSD/ trauma?

[Geeya]

❤️❤️ Can having ptsd cause you to forget to eat, take loss of time, hours not days?
