Healing from trauma does not have to be centered around the event(s). Talk therapy, or CBT, can be beneficial for so many reasons, but it can often leave those who are healing from trauma feeling overexposed, frustrated, and unsupported.
That's because talking about trauma without a foundation of safety causes your nervous system to re-live the same trauma; over and over again.
Our nervous system is designed to protect us in moments of emergency. But being stuck in survival mode is not supposed to be your everyday experience.
Re-teaching your nervous system that it's safe, gathering the tools to work through stress, and providing it with the support it needs to heal day after day allows your nervous system to regain it's sense of safety, shift out of overdrive, and allow you to have more flexibility with everyday stressors.
