I think the most important part of it is accepting it as part of ourselves. The more we try to push it away or make it "go away", the fresher the wound feels and the worse the triggers around that trauma. Accepting the trauma and the feelings of loss and hurt that go with it is crucial. Also, don´t forget to live your life. You can live your life and have a meaningful life even with a past of one or several traumas. Find also a good support network, if that is available to you or simply some good friends who will listen to you and to whom you can talk openly. Also, writing and art can heal. Whatever it is that you need to express yourself and accept it as part of yourself, you should consider.

Radical Acceptance of the current situation and allowing time and space for the suffering is the first space. It is also very important to keep the situation in perspective and know that it is not permanent. Actively caring for oneself and building a social support will increase one resilience towards future hardships.

It takes patience and kindness with yourself. Trauma is a wound that needs careful and slow healing, and if you are gentle and learn to trust someone to help you, you can overcome it.

The best thing you can do is reach out. Trauma affects each person in different ways, and so what works best for you will be a highly individualized experience. Talk therapy with a counselor or other mental health professional is a great place to start. If you don't have access to that, community support is the next best thing. There are also 7cups guides to coping with trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, and other emotions. Be sure to take care of yourself while working through your trauma, and to have as safe a support network as possible.

Your trauma is a fear inside you, that you are afraid to face. Try facing the fear, try showing yourself that what happened belongs to the past and that you can move on with your life if you move on from something that happened in the past.

Exposure therapy is highly effective in the treatment of traumatic experiences and acute or post traumatic stress disorder. Re-experiencing traumatic situations are naturally triggering and difficult due to the extreme fight or flight response from the sympathetic nervous system. With every re-exposure, the trigger(s) can become less upsetting as the brain learns to become calm in the presence of a reminder of past trauma. A trained mental health practitioner or therapist is the best resource for exposure therapy. However, exposure therapy can be eased into by writing about the traumatic experience(s) in great detail until the distress from remembering the experience(s) become less intense.
