Dealing with trauma
Hey everyone, ever since an event last year I've been dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety and just feel very vulnerable all the time. I had some EMDR which helped a lot but I couldn't go any further with the therapist that helped me and ever since I left there a few months ago things have been getting worse again. I feel miserable & most of all feel this terrible pain in my chest all the time, literlly as if someone stabbed me in the heart with a knife (I am physically fine). Has anyone dealt with stress/traumatic events on their own? I am looking to find a new therapist but I tried another therapist recently and I didn't feel safe with him so I'm going to look for a new one. Has anyone here managed to deal with trauma/stress on their own, if so what has helped you? I try physical exercise (jogging) but are there other things people have found helped them on here to deal with that? I feel so terrible at the time and just want to deal with this and hopefully get on with my life.
