Trauma, Healing, And Overcoming Life's Challenges
Life is a gift. But overwhelming trauma can wipe out our joy and throw us off the happy path we were once wandering down. Without wondering too hard what it’s really all about.
It's funny how we keep getting messages that we're on the wrong path and pay them no mind. We get 'the flu, but carry on working, People hurt us, but we stay loyal. We hate doing a particular task, but do it anyway because that's just what we're told- it's supposed to be the way things work. We just refuse to see that there's a meaning in the message, a hint that keeps getting louder.
So many people suffer trauma. Whether it’s the trauma of war or natural disasters, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse, or the trauma of relationships and lives ending, very few escape trauma throughout their lives.
With unique backgrounds, personalities, and attitudes, everyone has their own way of coping with or processing trauma. Some shrug it off easily, others relive the experience either in their nightmares or dreams, and many simply put it behind them, only to find its remnants seeping out into daily life.
Trauma often manifests as PTSD, and repeated trauma can turn into C-PTSD over time. It’s only when the symptoms become unbearable that we start to seek healing, having ignored the hints and help offered along the way.
And it’s in the healing process that meaning starts to reveal itself, first in tiny, disjointed bytes of information, somewhere along the way the lightbulb moments start happening, and everything finally starts to make sense. It really does, I promise. Just sit quietly and look for them- they’re there.
Gezinta Meaning
Gezinta is about healing and finding meaning in your life. To take trauma and turn it into something meaningful and positive. There is a Zen proverb that says:
“The obstacle is the path.”
This describes Gezinta: Looking at the traumatic obstacle and finding your path. Not a way back to your old life, a path to who and what you were meant to be, the reason you are on this Earth.
Your old life is in the past. Your future will unfold despite what you do. What matters is the present.
