Break free from trauma; How Habits can heal emotional pain

 You! 🫵 yes Overcoming your trauma is possible. Wait🖐️! Let me reveal this to you before you scroll away.


Of course, your healing journey may seem daunting, but it's essential to remember that every small step counts and the power of habits can be a game-changer. Emotional pains and trauma are something we can’t see, but they leave lifelong scars that impede our ability to experience joy and happiness. 


The trauma can result from various types of experiences such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, or even the loss of a loved one.


Habits shape our lives in profound ways, providing structure and stability. However, when it comes to trauma and emotional pain, habits can either be a lifeline or a trap. Understanding this relationship can empower you on your healing journey.  


Positive habits that help heal faster.

In response to trauma, the brain seeks ways to cope and regain a sense of safety. This is where habits come into play.

 Habits form as the brain’s automatic response to repeated behaviors, and depending on their nature, they can help or hinder healing. Here are some positive habits that can help heal from trauma. 


1. Mindfulness meditation: 

Engaging the mind in thoughtful meditations such as Art, music, writing, and other creative outlets helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.


2. Gratitude practice: 

Learning to appreciate your current status has a way of helping the mind. It helps shift focus to positivity, fosters resilience, focuses on the present moment, and reduces flashbacks.


3. Physical activity: 

Exercise, yoga, or walking to release endorphins. Engaging in self-care routines such as exercise, rest, nutrition, and relaxation helps relax the mind and bring it to a balanced state. 


4. Forgiveness practice: 

Let go of negative emotions, build strong relationships, and promote your personal healing. Cultivates kindness, understanding, and patience.


Conversely, trauma can also lead to the formation of maladaptive habits. For example, avoidance behaviors like substance abuse, overeating, or isolating oneself often emerge as a way to numb emotional pain. While these habits may provide temporary relief, they can deepen the sense of disconnection and hinder long-term healing.  


The main key to healing lies in understanding the emotional triggers behind them. Trauma and emotional pain often come with unresolved feelings of shame, guilt, or fear. By addressing these emotions through therapy or self-reflection, individuals can consciously replace maladaptive habits with healthier alternatives.  


At its core, healing from trauma is about creating a safe space for oneself. Establishing daily routines is one effective way to foster this safety. Regular habits can provide structure in the chaos that often accompanies emotional pain. Simple practices like waking up at the same time, engaging in morning affirmations, or planning meals can ground a person, offering predictability amidst emotional turmoil.

Our Social Experiments

It’s easy to believe we’ve mastered certain habits or think we’d act a certain way because we’ve read the right books or learnt the “right” lessons. But the truth is, our real character often shows up when we’re tested—whether in moments of power, pressure, hardship, or even unexpected joy.     Social experiments peel back those layers, not just to watch others, but to help us all understand ourselves a little better. In a social experiment, individuals or groups are placed in everyday scenarios, and their reactions, decisions, and behaviors are observed revealing the individual as a mirror —not the polished version we show online, but the reflection of who we truly are in real situations.     HOW SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS HELP CONFIRM PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES   Psychologists often come up with theories about how people think, feel, and behave. But theories aren’t enough on their own—they need to be tested in real life to see if they hold true. That’s where social experi...

  Goal Setting: A Path to Growth Pablo Picasso once said “Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which We must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act”.
