A traumatic experience is one that disrupts your equilibrium and leaves a lasting impact on your emotional responses. The effects may subside, but the thoughts and feeling surrounding your trauma resonate with you forever. Your perspective of relevant topics may shift and you might also behave differently. It will take some time to overcome any traumatic event. It is unfair for you to set a timeframe in which things will be back to normal. It is practical to assess what a new normal will be for yourself. Seeking assistance or therapy should allow you to ease into your new reality. Give yourself grace and welcome healing energy into your life. Things may be difficult at the moment, but this too shall pass. You'll soon look back and be proud that you managed to withstand it all.
