This happens to all of us to varying degrees and in different areas and relationships in our lives. We all respond to these differently and most of us need help to work through what we experienced in times of trauma. Some of this help comes from time it self, some from significant people in our lives. But for some this is a long process that requires professional help. This does not mean they are broken or somehow less than those who do not need this help. what is means is that we all have different strengths and weakness in how we were raised, the resources we had available to us, the number of exposures we had to adverse experiences, and we all have different temperaments.
One aspects that get overlooked is our ability to regulate our selves (to keep or return ourselves to a calm state).
This might be the music we listen to, exercises, yoga, singing, dancing, and playing videogames. However, this also includes drugs, alcohol, pornography, sex (include masturbation), or aggressive acts. We all use crutches to get through life. But why is that a bad thing! When you have a broken leg, insisting that you can walk just fine without any help would make most people think you were an idiot. But it we have a mental health issue then we are weak or worse dangerous. we live in a society that makes fun of violence and glorifies it in our entertainment and humor. Then we wonder why people in America do more violent things than other people from other countries. Duh! regardless of your stance on guns, abortions, or politics. We have a violence problem in America and we keep allowing ourselves to get distracted in the minutia instead of dealing with the more pervasive issue at hand. Why we can't just be nicer to each other!!!!
