Did you know the urge to move away and start over is actually a trauma response? Welcome to Lost Girl Therapy. Yep, the urge to move away, flee the life that you have and start all over is a trauma response. And it is one that I've actually had myself. So when we have a traumatic experience, the body can only process so much. And then the mind kind of takes over and it says, I am going to tell us where we need to go in order to get out of the sensation, to move away from the feeling of feeling too much, too fast. And that's where we get that flee. That's where we say, okay, I have to go somewhere else. I really just need to start over and start fresh. But you cannot outrun the sensations of the body. They will come up, whether it is a week, a month, a year, 10 years down the line, they will always come back. One of the ways to process this is doing something like somatic therapy, something like core energetics, or any kind of movement that allows you to process trauma in a way that does not feel too much for you. Sometimes with somatic therapy, it can feel a little bit heavy, especially if it is a fresh trauma, and that might not be the time or the place to do it. But inviting in practices like yoga or like acupuncture, just to move the energy through your body and start moving it out of your body can be incredibly helpful. It will also decrease that flight sensation that we experience.
