LAHere are a few other ways that trauma symptoms manifest into our day-to-day lives. These symptoms can also be caused because of other reasons & are not all solely trauma-related.
Gaps in memory may occur potentially as a way for your brain to protect you from re-experiencing the emotions & body sensations from the trauma.
Hypersensitivity to noise may occur due to being overstimulated from the impact of the trauma. Loud noises may be something that you fear (i.e., auditory flashbacks) or a way for your nervous system to communicate its limits.
Traumas impact our levels of patience & ways we cope. If we don’t have tools for our emotions, we may become more irritable. But, increased irritability can arise because our environment may not be supportive during your trauma recovery.
Difficulty relying on others may occur because traumas are unpredictable events in most cases, and affects our level in trust in others- creating an expectation & belief that we can only trust ourselves.
*Please note that there are many reasons why these symptoms may manifest outside of what I mentioned above^*
