I got swarmed!
from Rise Again From The Struggle · host Kevin Brewer
This is how I handle things that could be considered traumatic to some. I don't fight the emotion. If my mind and body need to panic for a couple of minutes, I let them. Then, as soon as a rational thought comes into my head, I grab on and use that to talk some logic back into myself.This stops the spiral while still allowing my body to process the moment and release it. Then, I started joking about it with my family. You know, as my mom asked me what type of bees they were, I said I didn't stop to ask them 🤣.Trauma sticks around when you fight your bodies initial response. Get through the moment first, feel the emotions, grab back onto reality and logic, and then you can move on.No excuses!
