Coaching Hope

Mental Health then Ball

Trauma, Adversity, and the Challenges of Life

Trauma, the bad things we endure, negatively impacts our level of hope. Untreated and unaddressed trauma can cause long-term damage mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Here is the best definition of trauma to use going forward toward hope.

Trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that are experienced by an individual as physically and emotionally harmful or threatening.

While there are many ways to define trauma, most definitions come close to this and focus on situations where someone has no control over what is happening to them or those around them.

The good news though is that rising hope reduces (softens) the impacts of these types of traumatic experiences. But we must learn how to talk about the bad stuff and then engage in physical and mental efforts that help us release trauma from our body. If trauma is part of your story, practice telling it to someone you trust.
