What is trauma?
什么是创伤?
According to the American Psychological Association, APA, trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event.
根据美国心理协会(APA)的说法,创伤是对可怕事件的一种情感反应。
It's something that can take over anyone who's been through an emotionally disturbing or life-threatening experience.
它可以控制任何经历过情绪不安或生命危险的人。
Despite what many people think, trauma isn't something that only people who've been diagnosed with PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder can have.
不管许多人怎么想,创伤并不是只有被诊断出患有创伤后应激障碍或创伤后应激障碍的人才会有的东西。
Living with trauma can affect you well after a traumatic event or experience, and can play a big part in how you move forward in life.
在经历创伤事件或经历创伤后,生活在创伤中会对你产生很大的影响,在你不断向前的生活中起到很大的作用。
There are certain signs and behaviors that are common in most people with trauma.
大多数创伤患者都有某些常见的迹象和行为。
So, to help you become aware of whether you're still struggling with a traumatic event, here are five signs you're living with trauma.
因此,为了帮助你意识到你是否仍在与创伤事件作斗争,这里有五个迹象表明你正活在创伤中。
Number one, you're still emotionally affected.
第一,你的情绪仍然受到影响。
Does the traumatic event you went through still take a toll on you emotionally, no matter how long ago it may have been?
你所经历的创伤性事件是否仍然会对你的情绪造成影响,不管是在多长时间之前?
How your trauma continues to affect you depends on your experience and it can vary from person to person.
你的创伤如何继续影响你取决于你的经历,这可能因人而异。
Certain words in your conversations, being in a certain place, or seeing particular objects may trigger feelings or memories tied to your trauma.
你谈话中的某些词,在某个地方,在看到特定的物体,可能会引发与你的创伤有关的感觉或记忆。
In more severe cases, you may find yourself feeling as though you are reliving the incident.
在更严重的情况下,你可能会发现自己感觉就像是在重温这一事件。
These moments can be difficult to manage and end up standing in the way of your healing and recovery.
这些时刻可能很难控制,最终会阻碍你的恢复。
So if you find that you're still emotionally impacted by a traumatic event, seeking help from a mental health professional, or even turning to talk to someone who's attentive and sympathetic may help you deal with and navigate through how you feel.
因此,如果你发现你仍然受到创伤性事件的情绪影响,向心理健康专家寻求帮助,甚至可以求助于一个细心和富有同情心的人,和他交谈,这可能会帮助你处理和控制你的感受。
Number two, you avoid certain thoughts, feelings, and conversations.
第二,你会回避某些想法,感受和对话。
Do you go out of your way to avoid certain thoughts, feelings, and conversations because you don't know how to deal with them?
你会因为不知道如何处理而特意避免某些想法、感觉和谈话吗?
Perhaps you find recalling certain events overwhelming, or you can't bring yourself to talk about a traumatic experience or hear of any similar ones.
也许你发现回忆某些事件让你不知所措,或者你不能让自己谈论一次创伤经历或听到任何类似的经历。
Avoidance is a natural reaction to trauma and is often used as a method to cope with or escape feelings that may be too overwhelming or exhaustive to address.
回避是对创伤的一种自然反应,经常被用来应对或逃避那些可能过于压抑或耗尽而无法解决的感觉。
In the face of what your mind views as dangerous, your flight response may kick in, causing you to steer clear of these unwanted and uncomfortable triggers.
面对你头脑中认为是危险的东西,你的逃避反应可能会起作用,导致你可以避开这些不想要的和不舒服的触发因素。
However, it's important to know that avoiding your trauma is only a temporary solution to push away your thoughts and feelings at the moment.
然而,重要的是要知道,避免创伤只是暂时的解决办法,可以暂时推开你的想法和感觉。
It doesn't guarantee that they won't pop up again.
这并不能保证它们不会再次出现。
Instead, avoidance may only prevent you from coming to terms with your trauma, which is important for you to be able to heal and move on.
相反,回避可能只会阻止你接受创伤,这对你能够痊愈和继续前进很重要。
At a more severe level, avoidance can lead to unhealthy and sometimes dangerous coping mechanisms like substance abuse and excessive drinking.
更严重的话,回避可能会导致不健康的应对机制,有时甚至是危险的应对机制,如滥用药物和过度饮酒。
Number three, you feel disconnected from others.
第三,你会感觉到与他人脱节。
Have you been feeling more and more isolated rom the people around you?
你是否感到与周围的人越来越隔绝?
Because of your traumatic experience, it can be difficult to find people who can relate to and understand what you went through.
由于你的创伤经历,很难找到能够理解和理解你所经历的事情的人。
As a result, you might feel disconnected from others, which may make you feel misunderstood, different, or singled-out.
因此,你可能会感到与他人隔绝,这可能会让你感到被误解、感到不同或感到被孤立。
Sometimes, in order to avoid any unwanted reactions from people who may not understand why you feel the way you do, you may even suppress your emotions and purposefully hide how you feel.
有时,为了避免那些可能不理解你为什么会有这种感觉的人做出任何不必要的反应,你甚至可能会压抑自己的情绪,刻意隐藏自己的感受。
However, even if you feel excluded and alone because of what you went through, it's likely that there are people out there who've also been through something similar.
然而,即使你因为经历过的事情而感到被排斥和孤立,很可能也有一些人也经历过类似的事情。
According to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, 70% of adults in the US have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives.
根据国家心理健康委员会的数据,70%的美国成年人一生中至少经历过一次某种类型的创伤事件。
So if you're feeling isolated, it may be helpful to reach out to some communities or groups for support.
因此,如果你感到孤立无援,联系一些社区或团体寻求支持可能会有所帮助。
Number four, you've become closed-off and distant in your relationships.
第四,你在人际关系中变得封闭和疏远。
Are you always telling your friends and family that you're fine, even though you're not?
你是否总是告诉你的朋友和家人你很好,即使你并不好?
Because traumatic events are emotionally and mentally damaging, they can be hard to talk about.
因为创伤性事件在情感和精神上都是破坏性的,所以很难谈论。
Even when others are willing to listen and talk about how you're feeling, it can still be difficult to take them up on their offer.
即使其他人愿意倾听和谈论你的感受,也很难接受他们的提议。
You may fear how they'll react, have trouble putting your feelings into words, or perhaps you just don't want to deal with the painful feeling of thinking back to the incident.
你可能害怕他们的反应,很难用语言表达你的感受,或者你只是不想处理回想起那件事的痛苦感觉。
However, when you suppress or ignore how you feel, you may just end up isolating yourself from your loved ones.
然而,当你压抑或忽视你的感受时,你可能最终会将自己与你所爱的人隔离开来。
Similarly, the people around you may be unaware of what you're going through and interpret your behavior as annoyance, moodiness, or assume that you're going through a hard time because of other problems.
同样,你周围的人可能没有意识到你正在经历什么,并将你的行为解读为恼人、喜怒无常,或者认为你正在因为其他问题经历一段艰难的时期。
This can also create distance and strain in your relationships, making maintaining close friendships difficult.
这也会在你们的关系中造成距离和紧张,使得维持亲密的友谊变得困难。
And number five, you had negative shifts in personality and thinking.
第五,你的性格和思维发生了负面的变化。
Do you feel like you won't amount to anything in the future?
你觉得你将来会一事无成吗?
Trauma can also have an impact on your overall personality and ways of thinking, whether it's experiencing a lower sense of self-esteem or developing a more pessimistic or cynical view of the world.
无论是经历自尊感降低,还是对世界产生更加悲观或愤世嫉俗的看法,创伤都会对你的整体个性和思维方式产生影响,
Your trauma can change your attitude and sensitivity towards other people.
你的创伤会改变你对他人的态度和敏感度。
Perhaps you're more on guard when you're around others, or always expect the worst outcomes to occur in every situation.
也许当你和别人在一起时,你会更加警惕,或者总是期望在每种情况下都会出现最坏的结果。
This tendency to always be cautious and suspicious of others or to become aggressive when you feel threatened can end up also impacting your ability to form and maintain your relationships.
这种对他人总是谨慎和怀疑的倾向,或者当你感到威胁时变得咄咄逼人,最终也会影响你建立和维持人际关系的能力。
