Trauma Recovery: Day 111

 

• You actively leaned into the immobilizing hypoarousal dip for 5 days until it organically lifted - a huge display of distress tolerance.
• When obsessive loops tempted isolation, you pushed past inertia to have lunch with coworkers, ultimately uplifted by social nourishment.
• Rather than let outdated rejection trauma sabotage attending the work event without your manager, you bravely socialized, boosting confidence.
• When your friend coworker's delayed reply brought up abandonment ghosts, you gave space rather than spiral, preserving self-worth when the connection did resume.
• Despite old wounds reactivated by your wife's irritation, you set needs boundaries without enmeshing, proving you can endure relationship intensity.
• Trauma remnants no longer necessitated numbing; you tenaciously felt through residual triggers. This built enough self-trust not to be afraid of future hypoarousal dip
