Taking time out really helps. And also what does really help is when others remind us of what has happened in our lives, to have shaped us as one self. It is good to be reminded that, what one person considers they have 'coped' with, or may see it as something that 'hasn't affected them', the way they have handled those situations-may have killed another.
And therefore I will in my own words call what can only be imagined as 'The Bruised Brain Theory'-we forget that whatever happens to us in life, it does affect us, though at the time or after we may not consider it to. What we experience shapes us. It can knock us off our feet and shake us up, a bit like when something quickly happens and it takes you out of your place. The nearest thing I could compare it to is perhaps an accident, lets say, a bike accident, or when you fall over. You become shaken up by a rush of adrenaline. We frequently forget that our bodies act like machines, and as much as there is the subconcious-we flow by a system of chemicals in affecting how we respond. I suppose what I am saying is, when stressful or traumatic problems may arise, the image comes to mind of a bruised brain. Even though after the sitation has taken place, we forget that we do become overwhelmed by certain events in our lives. And those events are essentially damaging-lets say, brain trauma. A bruised brain will always be triggered by anything which can link to those particular unfortunate moments. It would be within this moment whether it be yourself or another individual you know-accept the reminder that it may be time to slow down, time to take a moment, time to accept, grieve, be and reflect upon what was and what is now.
It all might put things into a little perspective for you.
