Read MoreUnveiling Shadows: Understanding Repressed Trauma
Repressed Trauma Hey everyone! Today, let's have a heart-to-heart about a topic that's often hidden in the shadows – repressed trauma. It's something that might be affecting more people than we realize, and understanding it is the first step towards healing and growth.What is Repressed Trauma?Repressed trauma involves traumatic experiences that your mind has, in a way, 'forgotten' or pushed out of conscious awareness. This is different from just forgetting something because your brain is actually working hard to keep these memories at bay. It’s like your mind’s way of protecting you from painful experiences. Why Does Trauma Get Repressed? Update Trauma can be repressed for many reasons. Often, it's because the experience was too overwhelming or painful to deal with at the time. This is especially common in childhood traumas, where the child doesn't have the emotional tools to handle what's happening.The Signs to Look Out For in Trauma and PTSDRepressed trauma can manifest in various ways. Maybe it's unexplained anxiety, sudden mood swings, or even physical symptoms like chronic pain. Sometimes, people might find themselves overreacting to situations that seem to trigger an emotional response that doesn't quite fit the current scenario. The Triggers of Trauma Triggers are a big part of dealing with repressed trauma. They can be anything – a sound, a place, a smell – that somehow relates to the traumatic experience. When triggered, someone might experience intense emotions or even flashbacks, not knowing why.The Journey to Healing TraumaHealing from repressed trauma is a journey, and it's different for everyone. It often involves therapy, where techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be incredibly helpful. The Role of Therapy in Healing Trauma In therapy, the goal is to gently and safely bring these repressed memories to the surface. It’s not about reliving the trauma, but about acknowledging it, understanding it, and learning how to cope with the emotions that come with it.Self-Care and Support Systems For TraumaAlongside professional help, self-care is crucial. This can be anything that helps you feel grounded and safe – meditation, exercise, art, or just spending time with loved ones. And speaking of loved ones, having a solid support system is invaluable.Breaking the Stigma of Trauma and PTSD There’s still a stigma around discussing trauma and mental health, but it’s slowly breaking. The more we talk about these issues, the more we normalize seeking help and sharing our experiences.The Power of Resilience One thing to remember is the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Healing from trauma is possible, and it can lead to significant personal growth and a deeper understanding of oneself. Repressed trauma might be a complex and challenging topic, but it’s an important one. Understanding it, acknowledging it, and seeking help are the first steps towards healing and moving forward. In Arctic Revelation, Christian ( main character) has repressed trauma and amnesia from the day his father dies when he was just nine years old. This is a core plotline that runs from the beginning of the book right up to its shocking ‘whodunit’ conclusion.

Read MoreWhy I Dedicate Over Half My Royalties to Mental Health Awareness
The Echoes of the Past - Arctic RevelationPeople often inquire about my decision to allocate over half of the royalties from my book, "Arctic Revelation," to mental health awareness. This commitment stems from a deeply personal experience that has significantly shaped my life and perspective. A Dark Turn in the Family When I was four years old, I witnessed a profound change in my father, a once vibrant and respected South Carolina legislator and family man. A devastating stroke left him drastically altered, robbing him of the ability to regulate emotions and perform simple tasks. Strokes can lead to significant emotional and physical impairments, and unfortunately, my father became one of the many profoundly affected. His transformation was marked by a loss of patience, tolerance, and an increase in frustration that often manifested in intolerance and, at times, violence.During those turbulent years, I have no personal memories of the pain and suffering—my recollections are pieced together from the stories told by relatives and friends. Like Christian, the protagonist of "Arctic Revelation," my understanding of those times is from an observer's perspective, making the pain no less real but somewhat more distant. My mother's courageous decision to leave this unhealthy environment undoubtedly saved our family, but it left me as a young boy navigating a world of confusion and anger, frequently getting into trouble and struggling to find my place. A Journey Towards Healing The turning point in my life came when I found refuge and understanding at a local healthcare facility. Here, I met a group of therapists, volunteers and doctors whose compassion and unwavering dedication changed the course of my life. These mental health professionals worked tirelessly with me, helping to unravel the complex layers of my past and guiding me toward a path of healing and understanding. They taught me that the trauma and abuse were not my fault and helped me develop the skills and resilience needed to overcome the obstacles I faced. Their dedication and care were a beacon of hope during my darkest times. This transformative experience is why I am so committed to donating a significant portion of my royalties to mental health initiatives. These organizations represent the same hope and opportunity for transformation that I was fortunate enough to receive. Mental health awareness and support can significantly change individual lives, much like they did mine, and I am dedicated to giving back to the community that gave me so much. The Power of Sharing and Giving Back "Arctic Revelation" is more than just a book; it's a narrative woven from the threads of my own experiences and a desire to make a difference in the world. It reflects not only a thrilling psychological journey but also the personal and societal impacts of mental health. By sharing this story, I aim to foster greater understanding and empathy, highlighting the importance of mental health support and the profound difference it can make in someone's life. As I continue on my journey, both as an author and an advocate for mental health awareness, I am reminded every day of the power of compassion and the importance of giving back. The royalties that I donate are not just funds; they are a continuation of the support and kindness that was once extended to me. They are an investment in the future of individuals who, like me, are looking for a beacon of hope and a chance for a better tomorrow. Through "Arctic Revelation," I hope not only to entertain and engross readers but also to inspire action and empathy for mental health challenges. By understanding and supporting each other, we can transform individual struggles into stories of survival and hope. I am forever grateful for the journey that has led me here and for the opportunity to help others find their path to healing and happiness.
