Trauma = Perceived Loss of Control

Slow down. What just happened? Why did I do that? Why am I so emotional? Why am I making the same mistakes? Why am I repeating the same self destructive behaviors?

I’m on autopilot. I wasn’t paying attention. My mind was somewhere else.

I’m in fight or flight. I got triggered. Something’s triggering me.

I’m living in an old trauma pattern.

Breathe.

Time to change my environment.
