OPC 042: When Vulnerability and Trauma Collide
Most of us have experienced some form of trauma in our lifetime, which can be a one-time event such as a car accident, or repeated trauma that occurs for months or years. However for many, trauma is deeply rooted in childhood events.
While throughout life we become physically and psychologically vulnerable, those who have experienced trauma can equate being emotionally vulnerable as a threat to our safety and security. Holding tightly onto control, the fear of emotional exposure brings up feelings that we may not be willing to face.
In this week’s Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, the group helped Sara. She found herself falling off of her recovery routine due to the pandemic and life events. Overwhelmed by things she can’t control, she doesn’t let those get overly close to her. Equating vulnerability to a decrease in safety, she feels it’s easier to handle everything on her own.
