Do you struggle with hope? Have the events, political and personal, of the last years impacted your ability to have a sense of optimism and possibility for the future?
Unhealed trauma is timeless in the brain. The brain doesn’t realize that any time has passed since that intrusive memory originally happened. As a result, our sense of the past, the present and the future are all made grimmer until our trauma is healed. (Healing trauma means transforming it from scary memory into our coherent life story.) When we have healed at least a little of our trauma, hope starts to be reborn. (Or born in the first place, if we’ve never had it.) And hope is important for our immune systems, for our energy levels and for our mood.
