What Are the Signs That You Have Unresolved Trauma?
Trauma doesn’t just live in the past—it lives in the body, in the way we react to situations, in the relationships we struggle with, and in the triggers we don’t always understand. Many of us, especially in Latinx and BIPOC communities, have been taught to push through, to keep going, to not talk about what hurt us. “Eso ya pasó” (That’s in the past) or “Hay que aguantar” (You have to endure) are common phrases that dismiss our pain rather than help us heal.
