Is His Forgiveness Enough To Silence The Hate In Your Own Mind?

 

You know the voice; it might be your own, or the words of others who know about your affair. I’m sure it’s past the warning light stage of guilt now- it’s moved into the realm of shame where you hate yourself for what you’ve done. Maybe you used to judge people who committed adultery before.  I know I probably did. It was easier to remove myself from the possibility of ever falling into this trap myself, by thinking it’s just those ‘bad people’ who do this.

But now you’re named among those, and you don’t know how you can ever live with yourself or how to help your husband heal, because all you see and feel every day is the shame from your sin. Some of you may even be contemplating suicide because of it. That is what shame does.

Friend, I want to ask you- what is continuously punishing yourself or hating yourself doing for you now?

Q5: Why do reminders trigger strong #emotional or #physical reactions?

From Strength to Heal

Triggers cause reactions because the body reacts before the mind realizes that there is no longer a risk of danger. The smell, the date, the place, the voice, or the #physical sensation of the #experience will reactivate the feeling of #trauma, which can lead to a #PanicAttack, #anger, #nausea, or shock. #Trauma response training can help calm the body in order to help it feel safe in the present.

The experience of early #traumatic #stress can cause #physical health problems in adulthood. When stress is a child, the body does not have enough time to recover. If there is a long-term trauma, it can cause stress over the course of #childhood development, resulting in problems #sleeping, #depression, low immune system, and #inflammation-related conditions. ACEs are related to chronic stress, but they are not related to the outcome; they have the potential to be protected by the presence of #relationships that feel safe and responsive.

From Strength to Heal

Yes. #Symptoms can appear years later because the NervousSystem may store threat responses long after the original danger has passed. Adult #relationships, relationships with #children, grief, #trauma, or the #environment can trigger the memory. This is a very common experience and this experience can be treated with the right care.

From Strength to Heal

What is childhood #traumais a traumatic experience for a child if the #child #experiences the #experience as #unsafe, #terrified, #trapped, or unprotected. Normal Stress is #temporary for a child and can be resolved with the help of a #caregiver. However, if the child has experienced stress and the safety has returned, stress can help the child build effective coping strategies. The body can hold the experience of trauma and can experience the stress response long after the threat has passed.
