Acknowledge Your Trauma to Heal
Experiences during medical procedures can lead to significant psychological trauma, with 60% of patients developing PTSD from minor surgeries due to disruptions in the body's natural healing process. This highlights the importance of recognizing both real and perceived stressors in daily life, including mental challenges that may not involve physical danger. Individuals often develop conditioning responses, such as seeking distractions, to avoid uncomfortable feelings rather than addressing them directly. It’s essential to examine these coping mechanisms and consider how they impact overall well-being.
