How do you deal with trauma?

It’s different for everyone, but I use distraction. I tend to ruminate and get trapped in spirals, so I go find something to do that will keep me from thinking about it. I have ADHD so I have to brute-force my mental health a bit. No mindfulness for me.

But if your trauma is bad enough that it’s impacting your everyday life, you should see a professional. They can give you techniques and exercises catered specifically to you.

Standing date with my therapist, knowing my limits and triggers and how to gracefully bail when something gets to be too much. Obviously this is trial and error in some cases -- I discovered a brand-new set of triggers this weekend, what fun -- so I'm also adept at adapting my meds to help me cope with the physical side.

I got trauma therapy. When that wasn't available to me, I read a lot on psychology.

One bad way I dealt with it was with food.

drugs.

If its serious trauma then see a therapist. Otherwise then explore and understand it in a healthy and rational way.

I personally just struggled through it and distanced myself from people who initiated or would potentially enable old and new traumas (They enable other bad traits among their peers, for example). Takes a lot of self reflection on actions that victimize yourself, and research into attachment styles and etc. but once you figure it out, life certainly improves, and so does your self-esteem.
