Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Remembering that psychological trauma and secondary trauma are connected to fears, negative attachments of unattended emotional memories of past events, it is important to remind yourself that the trauma is over; you have survived it. Take the time to externalize painful emotions. Re-evaluating and perspective of the past can heal the present, leading to a more positive time for the future.
