Emotional Wellbeing

Trauma bonds and healthy love relationships may look similar on the surface but are distinctly different psychological and emotional experiences. A trauma bond refers to an intense attachment that forms between a victim and abuser, rooted in a power imbalance that enables ongoing cycles of abuse.

Trauma bonding develops due to the abuse cycle of violence followed by affection or positive reinforcement. The abuse leads to fear, while the reconciliation creates relief and gratitude in the abused.

In the United States, it is estimated that around 6.3% of adults will experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetimes due to emotional trauma.

Past life trauma is believed to originate from profoundly traumatic events or circumstances experienced during previous incarnations of the soul that left intense unresolved distress imprinted on one's eternal consciousness. Potential causes of trauma include:

The impacts of academic trauma can be severe and wide-ranging. Students who endure traumatic situations in school are more likely to develop psychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, withdrawal, anger issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation.

Unresolved trauma is associated with devastating effects like flashbacks, anxiety, chronic pain, fatigue, and anger outbursts.

Injustice trauma is a deep emotional pain caused by unfairness in our systems. It happens because of different reasons in our society. Knowing where this trauma comes from is essential to finding ways to heal and make positive societal changes.

Social anxiety has both mental and physical symptoms. Socially anxious people experience intense fear about social situations like speaking in public, attending parties, talking to authority figures, and more mundane events like eating or drinking in front of others. They worry about being watched or negatively evaluated.

The experience of trauma is often accompanied by profound shame stemming from the powerlessness, stigma, and victim-blaming frequently associated with traumatic events. Sexual assault, childhood abuse, medical trauma, and combat exposure often cultivate deep shame in survivors, shaping their self-concept and identity in harmful ways. This shame can lead to withdrawal, silencing, and secrecy that prevent disclosure and help-seeking.
