Let’s talk about something that is very important to me, and that is the hidden costs of constantly retelling my trauma story.

Many of us who have experienced trauma may feel the need to share our story with others, whether it’s through therapy, support groups, or just talking to friends and family. While this can be a helpful way to process and cope with our trauma, it’s important to recognize that constantly retelling our story can also have negative consequences. One of the hidden costs of constantly retelling our trauma story is that it can prevent us from moving forward and healing.

When we are constantly reliving our trauma through our words, it can be difficult to let go and move on. Additionally, retelling our story can also trigger feelings of distress and anxiety, making it difficult to fully heal and recover. Another hidden cost is that it can be draining and tiring to constantly have to relive and share our trauma.

It can be emotionally taxing and can lead to feelings of exhaustion and burnout. Furthermore, constantly retelling our trauma story can also make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships, as it can be overwhelming for friends and family to hear about our trauma over and over again.

It’s important to remember that healing from trauma is a process, and it’s okay to take a break from talking about our trauma if we need to. It’s also important to find other ways to cope and process our trauma, such as through therapy, journaling, or creative outlets. Remember, constantly retelling our trauma story can have hidden costs, and it’s important to be mindful of this and take care of ourselves as we heal and recover.

Understanding the Power of your Story. Reconnecting, Rewiring, and ReIgnite Possibilities. Each person has a story that empowers or disempowers them. The childhood stories are their view of an incident that occurred in their life, be it trauma, parents divorcing, death, or good times.

The Power of Your Story often is what holds them back and makes them take a different turn in their life. Perhaps they were amazing pianists after a loss of a beloved friend, and she never played the piano again. In fact, she all but forgets she was an excellent pianist until much later in life.

Her friend was shocked when she told her friend how she used to play an instrument. When asked why she stopped, she had no idea. She just did.
