The impact of trauma can last a lifetime from "summary" of The Fact of a Body by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich
The weight of trauma is not easily shed. It has a way of lingering, of seeping into every crevice of one's being, shaping thoughts and actions in ways that may not always be immediately evident. Trauma has a way of planting itself firmly in the recesses of the mind, surfacing at unexpected moments, triggering reactions that may seem disproportionate to the present circumstances. It is a heavy burden to carry, a constant reminder of past pain and suffering that can color every aspect of one's life. The impact of trauma can extend far beyond the initial event that caused it. It can manifest in a myriad of ways, from flashbacks and nightmares to difficulty forming and maintaining relationships. Trauma can warp one's perception of the world, creating a lens through which every experience is filtered. It can lead to self-destructive behaviors, as a means of coping with the overwhelming emotions that accompany trauma. The effects of trauma can be insidious, creeping into every facet of one's life without them even realizing it. It can shape one's beliefs about themselves and others, leading to feelings of worthlessness or distrust. Trauma can manifest physically as well, leading to chronic pain, illnesses, and other health issues that may have no apparent cause. It is a silent assailant, wreaking havoc on one's well-being long after the initial trauma has passed. The impact of trauma is not easily undone. It requires time, effort, and often professional help to work through the layers of pain and suffering that have accumulated over the years. Healing from trauma is a journey, one that may have no clear endpoint, but is nonetheless worth embarking on. It is a process of unraveling the knots of the past, of untangling the threads of pain that have wound themselves around one's heart and soul. The impact of trauma can be profound, shaping one's life in ways that may not always be immediately apparent. It is a heavy burden to bear, one that can weigh one down and make every step forward feel like an uphill climb. But healing is possible, and with time and effort, it is possible to move beyond the shadow of trauma and into a brighter, more hopeful future.
