Trauma cycles and patterns can be a form of repeated self-inflicted suffering we impose on ourselves out of the belief that this is what we deserve or what we are worth. It's the continual loop that we find ourselves in, where we feel we can't get out and the feeling of being stuck comes to mind. But fear not, you can break the cycle. You can break free, and below we're going to explain how.
Understanding Trauma Cycles:
First, we need to understand what trauma cycles actually are because before you can release yourself from them, you must understand what they are.
Definition of Emotional Trauma: Emotional trauma is like that uninvited guest who barges in, overwhelms you, tells you all sorts of scary things, and then refuses to leave, while still kind of punching you in the gut or stabbing you in the heart in the process.
Trauma Response: When faced with physical trauma, our bodies go into full superhero mode and release stress hormones faster than a squirrel can climb up a tree. It's like your body saying, "Emergency alert: Danger, Will Robinson, Danger, Danger! Did you hear me, Danger!"
Trauma Cycles: Think of trauma cycles as that annoying song stuck in your head - they're recurring emotional and thought energy patterns that keep playing on repeat, making you think, "Can we change the tune, please?"
Causes of Trauma Cycles:
Let's break down the potential emotional trauma cycles that can be experienced and where they may root from. Of course, you must take what resonates with you because your journey is unique. Here are just a couple of general causes to provide some context.
The following are from what I have found from doing the energy healing work on my clients over the years and in my own healing journey. The main common denominator is that they all tend to originate from childhood then continue to grow throughout that person's life experience.
The key to healing from emotional trauma cycles is to find out the root cause. Where does it come from? Where did I learn this behaviour from? What is the root of this limited belief or fear, and where is this energy grounded in your body? Once we understand the root cause, then we can express this emotional energy by releasing it through the body and then finally letting it go. This is easier said than done, but it can be done!! You can break free from these negative thoughts and low emotional energy loops.
Unresolved Trauma: Trauma cycles often stem from emotional baggage that has been left unattended for way too long. The energy repeats and most of the time expresses in different ways. For example, you may have a fear of being rejected that came from an experience where your mom or dad rejected you. This fear of being rejected can tend to play out as you attaching others rejecting you. This can be from relationships, friendships, family, or in your job. It could keep happening with different events/people/situations, but the energy is still the same fear playing out. Sometimes the intensity of the experience/situation can increase over time. I believe this happens so we can figure it out to heal ourselves from it because the first step to freedom is realizing what loop you're stuck in. Sometimes we can get so consumed by our emotional trauma loops that it becomes comfortable that we don't see that we're stuck in one. Fear not! When you're ready to step out from it, you will.
Maladaptive Coping Strategies: Sometimes we cope with trauma in ways that are about as helpful as using an umbrella in a hurricane. Those coping skills can be shifted from "avoid and ignore" to "face and conquer!" This can result from a few beliefs playing out at the same time, such as not feeling worthy enough to heal from fear, negative thoughts, or limited beliefs. So instead, we keep ourselves small because we have programmed ourselves to believe that this is all we deserve and that we should be treated this way because we're a bad person or fear change or uncertainty. There are so many negative thoughts that can keep us locked in, and we might cope by not wanting to open the door.
Psychological Factors: Our brains can be as tricky as negative self-beliefs and distorted thoughts - it's like having a tiny saboteur living rent-free in your head! Our minds are programmed to want to keep us safe, so if there are perceived threats, it will play out this scenario and talk you out of doing anything different. This tendency tends to stem from a feeling of not being or feeling safe in our childhood. We have to remember that many of our traumas and negative beliefs come from our childhood, so in order to understand why we have them in the first place, we must look at them from a child's perspective because as an adult, it might seem ridiculous. However, your inner child doesn't think so, and many of our deep emotions come from them.
Social and Environmental Factors: Sometimes life throws curveballs faster than a tennis ball machine on overdrive. Lack of support, conflicts - it's like being in a reality show where drama is the main course! Our environment and the people around us all have a part to play. When we are born, we look to adults for guidance on how to be human. We are social beings at heart and enjoy the company of others. But we all have our own energies, and if we are unaware of what we are projecting outwards, then we will be projecting our fears, thoughts, beliefs onto others. This is where we must learn to know ourselves, setting healthy boundaries, clearing our energies, and protecting our energies from others who are still learning. However, when we are children, we are very receptive to all energies around us, and if we don't understand them, it can cause confusion or we take them on as our own. This is because in order to learn what it is to be human, when we were young, we mimic those around us. This mimicking behaviour can continue throughout ourselves if we don't know who we really are. This is why it is so important to understand who you are.
Physiological and Neurological Reactions:
Understanding the impact of emotional trauma cycles on your physical well-being can shed light on mental processes.
Hyperarousal and Hypervigilance: Emotional trauma cycles are intricate patterns deeply ingrained within the human psyche because it is our emotional energy that impacts our energetic bodies, leaving lasting marks on well-being. The body's response to trauma involves complex physiological and psychological processes, which revolves around heightened alertness triggered by situations reminiscent of the initial in most occasions childhood trauma experience, as the body instinctively protects itself from harm or perceived threats. Remember the word 'perceived', its very important to distinguish between the present and in the past. We must remember to try and keep our minds in the present moment, instead of being stuck in the past that cant be changed or the future that is untold yet.
Emotional Dysregulation: Emotional trauma cycles can turn your emotions into a rollercoaster ride without a seatbelt. You could be up and down, experiencing mood swings, irritability, sadness, anger, and various others. They could just come from nowhere at times, or the same response you had as a child comes up when challenged with a similar experience.
Hormonal Changes: Emotional trauma energy is intricately linked to our physiological well-being, affecting hormonal balance. Emotional Trauma disrupts this balance and takes you away from your true self and true harmony by releasing cortisol and adrenaline, which triggers the body's stress response. Prolonged exposure to these hormones can harm our health by increasing the ph levels in our bodies and by disrupting the endocrine system, affecting various bodily functions. Recognising this connection is crucial for restoring hormonal balance and overall well-being.
Avoidance: Trauma survivors can be the masters of evasion, dodging reminders of the past like a ninja in the shadows. But sometimes facing the music is the only way to change the tune. Our minds will always want to keep us safe. This is because we have been living in a reality where we have had to be in survival mode, but now it's our time to live, really live. You can do this by healing your energies to heal your thoughts and emotional bodies.
Emotional Numbing: Sometimes emotions can feel like a distant memory, hidden behind a thick fog of detachment. The numb feeling is complete detachment from self. It's not nice to be in a room full of people and not feel anything. I know this very well from my own experience. I went from one extreme to the other, and then when I took antidepressants, I went back to feeling nothing. I didn't stay on them for long because I wanted to feel, even if it was chaos and suffering; at least it was something. In energy healing, I have learned that this numb feeling is when we disconnect and detach from ourselves completely, including in our bodies. We disconnect from our feminine energy, which is the life force and our true essence. The key to bringing this connection back is to figure out why it disconnected in the first place. Understanding what energy blocks you may have can help unlock this connection. Feeling is a beautiful gift our bodies give us, and we should be able to experience the full happiness and joy that this reality has to offer.
Involuntary Memory Processing: Traumatic memories can be like that unwanted horror movie that keeps being replayed - intrusive thoughts, memories, and flashbacks that just won't quit. They can drive you mad and make you question everything, including your own existence. But isn't it time to change the movie? You have the power to do so by understanding the story you tell yourself. You have the power to change the story, so why not?
Final Thoughts
Understanding the causes and the root childhood experience of the energy around the experienced trauma cycles helps you to unlock the truth of you. The more you understand you, the more you will be at peace with you. There is so much more to you know then we have been told.
My passion is helping support others in unlocking who they truly are. I use my gifts to tap into their hearts and support them to step into the reality they want to create. I understand healing can take time and I’m here to support. I do this by my 1-2-1 Energy healing session and through the Patreon group where we are uncovering the expansive knowledge of consciousness.
Thank you for being here on this journey with me and everyone else at this time, its your time to shine bright.
