Why does trauma make us wary of others, and why do we crave connection? In this episode of The Trauma Recovery School, Bonita Ackerman du Preez dives into the conscious mind and its hurdles in trauma recovery. This is part two of the discussion, so if you missed the first part, you might want to catch up!
Bonita, an award-winning master trauma recovery therapist, explores how trauma, especially when inflicted by others, can shatter our ability to trust and lead to deep-seated suspicion. She explains that our brains learn to associate people with danger, making us hypervigilant and constantly on the lookout for potential threats. The fear of re-experiencing trauma can drive survivors to withdraw from society as a coping mechanism.
This isolation can severely impact relationships, making it difficult to form new connections or maintain existing ones. Bonita highlights that trauma survivors often struggle with trust, intimacy, and vulnerability. The Trauma Recovery Method program aims to rebuild the foundations of relationships by addressing root cause trauma and using various techniques to help survivors move forward. If you've ever wondered why trauma affects your interactions with others or how you can rebuild trust, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
