Conquering Trauma

How to finally confront the trauma stopping you from feeling peace and joy — even if you've never realized it was trauma at all. Do you have behaviors or reactions you wish you could change about yourself? Do you often feel isolated, sensing that something inside you is blocking your happiness? Have you caught yourself acting in a way you swore you never would — like being a bully, or repeating patterns from how you were raised? If any of this resonates, you are not alone, and this guide can help. Trauma isn't only about severe or extreme experiences — it's a reaction to an event, not the event itself, and even a seemingly mild experience can cause trauma that shapes the rest of your life. This guide draws on Bessel A. van der Kolk's 1989 study, "The Compulsion to Repeat: The Trauma Re-enactment, Revictimization, and Masochism," published in Psychiatric Clinics of North America, which shows how trauma manifests and is unconsciously repeated by its victims, whether behaviorally, emotionally, or physiologically.
