Why do humans struggle with past traumatic experiences?
Although animals in the wild constantly deal with danger, they do not appear to experience trauma the same way as we do. The difference is they do not have a thinking brain (prefrontal cortex). They never hear, “Stop it! Pull yourself together! It wasn’t that bad.” They are able to metabolize the experience and return to grazing with the other animals. Many humans who have been traumatized do not have this ability.
Impact Our Ability
The lasting effects of trauma impact our ability to form and maintain healthy relationships. We may struggle with trust issues, difficulty in expressing emotions, or engaging in patterns of aggression or defensiveness.
Feel trapped
Many individuals feel trapped and desire a path toward healing, inner peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. The lack of understanding and effective tools to address trauma leaves them searching for support and guidance to navigate their journey toward recovery

There are many different types of trauma therapy, each with its own unique approach. Some common types include:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This therapy helps people identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be contributing to their symptoms.
- Exposure Therapy: This therapy involves gradually exposing oneself to triggers in a safe and controlled environment.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This therapy uses rapid eye movements to help people process traumatic memories.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapies: These therapies teach people to be present in the moment and to accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
