Lean into it: Within limits, leaning into the trauma will help you more than avoiding it. By this i mean actively discussing it and your responses with a caring, professional therapist who can help you safely modulate the process. Healing will not mean blunting your feelings, but gradually integrating what has happened with the rest of your life. Anxiety increases when we try to mask authentic emotions.
