Confronting Trauma

Trauma often leads to maladaptive behaviors, such as guilt and shame, instead of direct confrontation with the emotions involved. The discussion highlights the importance of addressing the root cause rather than repeating past patterns, questioning the necessity of professional support versus self-reflection. Engaging with these emotions, whether alone or with a therapist, can be a crucial step in breaking the cycle of re-traumatization.
