Blade @this-is-a-trauma-response - Tumblr Blog

Hello!

This blog is dedicated to sharing trauma responses, as the name suggests. I made it to raise awareness and highlight trauma responses that may not be talked about much, but I’ll also post any submissions that recommend coping mechanisms and harm reduction methods. I do not in any way encourage any harmful behavior towards oneself or others.

Rules:

NSFW is allowed, but graphic descriptions of sexual acts will not be posted. Brief explanations of your trauma is okay for the sake of context, but, again, please avoid getting graphic or in detail about it. Any asks that are bigoted, hateful, or intended to provoke drama will be deleted.

Freezing up and dissociating whenever the doorbell rings until you hear the door close after your mom answers it is a trauma response.

is it a trauma response to constantly be having the way you feel about someone and how safe you feel around them switch around? And also is it a trauma response to crave comfort and company from someone who's hurt you when they're not around?

Absolutely can be a trauma response

This is a trauma response, it's called a trauma bond.

That one time when i got so scared of my mom hurting me physically i blurted out something like "i'll punish myself just dont punish me yourself" and completely meant that she stopped me from doing that thankfully

This is a trauma response.

I apologize for anything, I could do something helpful but I’ll still feel the need to apologize. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve been yelled at by a parent to stop apologizing for everything

This is a trauma response.

I don't fw "endo neutral" mfs btw. You can't be neutral on someone's existence. How the fuck are you neutral on if someone exists or not. That's not how that works. You either think they exist or you don't it's really fucking simple.

#this is not a trauma response

Is it a trauma response if you try to keep your parents from holding or touching your phone and computer even if it's just to look at something your showing them? I also remember my anxiety spiking when my dad asked me what I was doing on it one time even though at that moment it wasn't meant to come off that way and I wasn't even looking at anything bad, but I felt the need to come up with a justification regardless

This can be a trauma response.

idk if this a trauma but im extremely terrified of people knowing what genitals i have because of previous experiences i had as an agender person, so whenever i hornypost i say "im hard and wet" since it sounds confusing enough

This is a trauma response.

Suddenly being filled with a feeling of dread because you heard an old default ringtone is a trauma response.

Anything can be a trigger. A name, a sound, a scent, a taste, a place or even a word like "banana". Never, *ever* invalidate anyone's triggers juat because they're "random".

when i was a child, my mom told me that i couldn’t be bored if theres a house to clean.

now, i cant relax until ive cleaned everything.

This is a trauma response.

#🦴🍮#trauma recovery #trauma response #trauma survivor #trauma #this is a trauma response #mental illness #childhood trauma

We (me & my sibling) had a fight that spooked our pet that spilled my plate of food and my immediate unconscious thought after was "oh shit, I have to clean this up before Mother(TM) knows"

And me running to the front door to leave, fumbling with the lock so bad Mother had time to come over and physically stop me and I crumple to the floor to leave instead because I was so panicked (because Mother had came to investigate the commotion and physically stopped me from cleaning multiple times to try to get me to answer the question of what happened)

For reference, I have selective mutism (?) Or something similar and usually can't speak when in fight/flight or etc. She (Mother) knows this and still gets pissed at me for it hence why I continued to freak out to the point of trying to run out the front door

This is a trauma response.

does something count as a trauma response if it's incredibly inconsistent

for example sometimes when i get yelled at i start shaking really badly but other times i snap and yell back without even realizing what im doing and can't stop myself and then go hyperventilate and cry afterwards and other times i just completely freeze

Yup, trauma responses aren't always consistent. Our brains aren't programmed like NPCs, same triggers don't necessarily have the same outcome every time.
