**Signs you might be experiencing paranormal trauma** 👻
Not every scary experience becomes trauma. But some do, and the signs can be easy to miss, especially when no one around you is talking about it.
Here is what I see most often in my work at Amyris Counseling & Wellness:
💜 **Physical signs:**
• Chills, goosebumps, or shivers that come without explanation
• Nausea or stomach discomfort in certain spaces
• Sleep disruption, especially fear of your bedroom or the dark
• Jumpiness or a startle response that feels stuck on "high"
💜 **Emotional signs:**
• Anxiety that spikes when you think about what happened
• A sense of dread you cannot name or locate
• Feeling "on guard" in your own home
• Avoidance of certain rooms, objects, or conversations
💜 **Cognitive signs:**
• Replaying the experience, trying to make sense of it
• Doubting your own memory or perception
• Feeling like no one would believe you if you told them
If you are nodding along, you are not alone, and you are not making it up. Your nervous system is responding to something it experienced as a threat. That response is real, and it is treatable.
At Amyris Counseling & Wellness, I use EMDR, EFT, and grounding work to help your body find its way back to safety. No holy water required. ✨
