How Unconscious Trauma's Impact Shapes Your Life

Ever notice how you can’t outrun something that lives inside your own mind?

That’s the trick trauma plays.

Even when you don’t remember the details, the body remembers the alarm.

It knocks on the door through your choices, your health, your relationships, your worth.

If it’s in you… it’s in you.

Until you change it.

I’ve seen this over and over.

My first client was my ex-wife.

She thought she had OCD.

But OCD wasn’t the problem, it was the coping mechanism.

She’d been sexually abused by her father, and her brain tried to survive by being perfect… by controlling everything so nothing bad could ever happen again.

Maybe you know that pattern.

Trying to stay safe by being perfect, productive, busy, numb.

Food becomes the escape.

Running becomes the escape.

Shopping, alcohol, work, cleaning — anything to get away from what’s inside.

But the truth is:

You can’t escape what’s in your head.

You can only change it.

And once you update the emotional triggers, the patterns fall apart.
