What happens to the mind?
Understanding how trauma plays out in our minds is crucial to addressing it.
-
Difficulty concentrating: A person impacted by trauma may struggle to focus on tasks, conversations, or work, making it challenging to complete activities that require sustained attention.
-
Memory issues: A person may experience forgetfulness and difficulty recalling details or information.
-
Slowness: One might feel like their thought processes are slowed down, making it harder to process information or solve problems.
-
Confusion: A sense of disorientation can make it challenging to keep thoughts organised, or to follow a sequence of ideas or flow of thoughts.
-
Fatigue: Trauma is often associated with physical and mental fatigue, which can further contribute to cognitive difficulties.
-
Lack of clarity: One can feel fuzziness or woolliness in their thoughts.
